Capital City Fire Rescue

CCFR supports our CBJ Water Utility team as they conduct routine flushing of the water distribution system now through the end of October.

In addition to helping maintain clean, high-quality drinking water, a well-maintained water distribution system is an important part of our community’s fire protection infrastructure. Hydrants and reliable water supply are critical resources for our firefighters during an emergency.

During flushing, residents may notice temporary water discoloration or minor service disruptions. Once crews have left your area, simply run your cold water until it runs clear.

Thank you to our Water Utility crews for the work they do behind the scenes to maintain this important community infrastructure.

Readiness • Dedication • Service

From now through the end of October, the CBJ Water Utility team is flushing out sediment and mineral buildup in our water distribution system 🚰 This helps keep the water clean and crisp for all of Juneau.

During this time, you may notice minor service disruptions or slight water discoloration. To clear discoloration, wait until the work crew leaves the area and then run the cold water tap until it runs clear.

Work is scheduled from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. If you have any questions, call CBJ Utilities Administration at (907) 586-0393.

Today, the Juneau Police Department stood with our community and fellow first responders in honoring those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001. We remember the courage of the first responders who rushed toward danger, the selfless actions of everyday citizens who helped one another, and the service members who answered the nation's call in the years that followed. May their sacrifices never be forgotten, and may we continue to uphold the unity and strength that emerged in the midst of tragedy.

August was another busy month for Capital City Fire Rescue.

CCFR responded to 574 fire and EMS incidents, averaging approximately 18.5 incidents every day. EMS and rescue continued to make up the majority of our workload, accounting for 448 incidents, or 78% of all responses.

August also highlighted the all-hazards nature of CCFR. In addition to our daily emergency response, our crews supported the community during the Mendenhall River Glacial Lake Outburst Flood (GLOF), responded to an aircraft emergency requiring a water rescue while flood operations were underway, and assisted the Tongass National Forest with a wildland fire near Eagle Beach.

From routine medical calls to complex and simultaneous emergencies, our personnel continue to train and prepare for whatever the next call may bring.
