🔥 Wheat Field Fires & Agricultural Burns – What to Know 🌾

Over the coming weeks, you may notice large columns of smoke rising across Duplin County. Don't be alarmed — this is a common sight during this time of year as farmers begin controlled burns in harvested wheat fields. These agricultural burns help remove leftover crop residue, manage pests, and prepare the land for the next planting season.

These fires are intentionally set and carefully managed to reduce wildfire risk and support local agriculture. However, they can produce a lot of visible smoke — sometimes enough to cause concern.

📞 If you ever believe a fire appears to be out of control or spreading beyond its intended area, don’t hesitate — call 911 immediately. It’s always better to be safe than sorry.

We appreciate your awareness and support of our agricultural community!

Last night a couple of our guys got together and did a basic pump class refresher. Having a good pump operator is a very crucial part of every fire scene, not only to protect our community but to ensure our firefighters are safe and protected also. Huge thank you to Wade Farrior to decide to teach this class and share his experience and knowledge with the rest of his fellow brothers!

Your family is Our family!
