Happy Father's Day from all of us at Lasker Volunteer Fire Department!

Today we celebrate the incredible dads in our community — the ones who teach us strength, courage, and what it means to show up when it matters most.

Whether you're a father who runs toward the fire, a dad who supports our volunteers, or the steady hand that holds your family together through every challenge, today is for YOU!

Thank you for your sacrifices, your late nights, your quiet strength, and the love that keeps our community going strong. From teaching your kids how to check the smoke detectors to being the hero who answers the call — we see you, and we are grateful.

Wishing all our fathers, father figures, and families a safe, joyful, and love-filled Father's Day!

Please do not burn tomorrow!

Increased Risk of Wildfire Due to Elevated Fire Danger -- Thursday, June 18, 2026

The National Weather Service has issued fire danger statements for central and eastern North Carolina. What does increased fire danger mean for you today?

🎯 Fires can start from the smallest spark.
🎯 Dry conditions and wind increase fire spread.
🎯 Everyday activities carry more risk right now.

Avoid burning, and be cautious with anything that could cause a spark. Properly dispose of smoking materials such as ci******es. Be extremely careful with machinery and farm equipment when working outdoors.

Contact your N.C. Forest Service county ranger's office for guidance.

Spread prevention, not wildfire.
