The burn band went into effect tonight at 6 PM. All open outside, burning is prohibited until further notice. 

Due to increased wildfire risk, the N.C. Forest Service has issued a ban on all open burning and has canceled all burning permits statewide effective 6 p.m. Saturday, March 28 until further notice.

Under North Carolina law, the ban prohibits all open burning in the affected counties, regardless of whether a permit was previously issued. The issuance of any new permits has also been suspended until the ban is lifted. Anyone violating the burn ban faces a $100 fine plus $183 court costs. Any person responsible for setting a fire may be liable for any expenses related to extinguishing the fire.

The burn ban does not apply to fires started within 100 feet of an occupied dwelling. The local fire marshal has authority to issue a burn ban within those 100 feet.

As sunset approaches, temperatures drop, causing any liquids on the roads to refreeze, resulting in hazardous travel conditions. If you NEED to get out, be very careful.

Pretty simple.

Road conditions are becoming hazardous and challenging to navigate; please refrain from traveling unless absolutely necessary. We don’t want to be on the roads either.

Today is National Fentanyl Awareness Day. Why is a fire department posting about this? Because we are the first responders dispatched to overdose calls, administer Narcan, and perform CPR on individuals found unresponsive due to fentanyl overdose. We also bear the emotional stress of being unable to save lives due to overdose. Don’t try to get high and die!
