🚫🔥 STATEWIDE BURN BAN REMAINS IN EFFECT 🔥🚫

Stanly County remains under a statewide burn ban due to continued dry conditions and elevated fire danger.

🚫 All open burning is prohibited, including:
• Burning leaves or yard debris
• Campfires
• Bonfires
• Agricultural burning

Local fire marshals have also issued bans that prohibit burning within 100 feet of any occupied structure anywhere in Stanly County.

🌡️ With high temperatures, low humidity, and no significant rainfall in the forecast, conditions remain dangerous. Fires in wooded areas can burn hotter, spread quickly, and require extensive resources to control.

⚠️ Important Reminders:
• Violations may result in fines
• Grills and gas cooking devices are allowed (unless otherwise restricted)
• Report wildfires or suspicious fire activity by calling 911

⏳ There is no timeline for lifting the burn ban at this time. It will remain in place until we receive significant, widespread rainfall.

Please do your part to help prevent wildfires and protect our community. Stay safe!
