A Message From Division Chief Jon Glover With over 20 years of experience in wildfire response and mitigation throughout Alaska and the Lower 48, I am dedicated to serving the community as the Wildfire Division Chief. In alignment with AFD's mission to serve our community before, during, and after an emergency, I encourage you to utilize the resources on our website to learn how you can better prepare yourself and your loved ones for a wildfire. The time to act is now, not when an incident occurs. Two crucial actions you can take are creating a defensible space around your property (see our Firewise resources) and developing an action plan (see our Ready Set Go program). As we approach the 2025 fire season, the Anchorage Fire Department Wildfire Division is working closely with all relevant MOA divisions and departments, as well as jurisdictional agencies responsible for wildfire management, including OEM, state, and federal partners. We are also collaborating with state and federal partners to secure funding for hazard fuel mitigation projects, strengthening our community's resilience to the growing threat of wildland fire. I encourage you to attend community meetings, use the resources on our website, and reach out to us with any questions. We are here to support you before, during, and after an emergency.
