 A Message From Division Chief Jon Glover   

 With over 20 years of wildfire experience, I am proud to serve as Anchorage's Wildfire Division Chief. This past year, we completed the Community Wildfire Protection Plan and expanded mitigation, outreach, and partnerships to strengthen our community's resilience. 

 As we continue advancing wildfire preparedness across the Municipality through targeted projects and operational readiness, we ask residents to take steps at home that complement and strengthen our shared readiness. Creating defensible space, signing up for emergency alerts, and
 preparing for evacuation through Ready, Set, Go! can make a meaningful experience. 

 We are her​e to support you before, during, and after an emergency.​
