Memorial Day, cook outs, a day off, extended weekend for a little vacation. With the pouring down rain it has put a damper on most of the weekend. BUT really, it’s about those who didn’t make it back and we will never forget. President Trump ordered flags to be flown at half-mast . So humbled to be part of an organization that has basic core values. All seven of our trucks carry the” In God we Trust “across the front windshield . Couldn’t be prouder. “A Few Serving Many” is our logo.

*Special Announcement*

Good afternoon,

I wanted to notify everyone that the burning ban for Robeson County has been lifted by the NC Forestry Service and the Robeson County Fire Marshal’s Office.

At this time, outdoor burning is permitted; however, we still encourage all residents to use caution and follow all applicable safety guidelines when conducting any open burning.

Due to increased fire risk, the N.C. Forest Service has issued a ban on all open burning and has canceled all burning permits statewide effective 8 a.m. Friday, March 21 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 that 100 feet.

Please keep Assistant Chief Tommy Belton and Firefighter Ellis Turbeville in your thoughts and prayers as they travel to Horry County, South Carolina.

Robeson County along with several other North and South Carolina counties have been asked to fulfill a request from the Mrytle Beach area for Tankers and man power.

They will be assigned for an unknown amount of time as of now. We will keep you posted as updates come into our station.

..INCREASED FIRE DANGER TODAY, THEN A GREATER THREAT ON SATURDAY...

The combination of dry fine fuels like grasses and tree debris, limited rainfall in the last week, and very low relative humidity of 20 to 28 percent will lead to an elevated risk of adverse fire behavior today. While winds today will not be particularly strong, sporadic gusts up to 15 to 20 mph are possible.

On Saturday, ahead of an approaching cold front, the increasingly dry surface fuels along with continued low relative humidity of 20 to 30 percent and blustery winds frequently gusting to 25 to 30 mph will bring a greater risk of adverse fire behavior and possible wildfires.

Please refer to your local burn permitting authorities on whether you may burn outdoors today or Saturday. If you do burn, use extreme caution since fires can grow quickly and become dangerous in these conditions.
