Is your home prepared for an "Ember Attack"? 🏠🔥
It’s a common misconception that wildfires only destroy homes via a massive wall of flames. Research into home survival shows a different reality: most homes ignite due to embers and small flames.
The "Mile-High" Threat
Embers are burning pieces of airborne wood or vegetation. They can be carried more than a mile by the wind, landing in gutters, under decks, or in vents—starting "spot fires" far from the main blaze.
The Home Ignition Zone (HIZ)
Your home’s survival depends on the Home Ignition Zone—the condition of your house and everything within 200 feet of its foundation.
The Reality Check: While clearing a full 200-foot radius isn't always possible (especially in heavily wooded areas or tight neighborhoods), a 50-foot buffer is your critical line of defense. If you live where the wildland meets your backyard, focusing on those first 50 feet is the most vital step you can take.

Don't wait for smoke on the horizon to start your defense. Learn the science of fire behavior and how to "harden" your property.

There are methods for homeowners to prepare their homes to withstand ember attacks and minimize the likelihood of flames or surface fire touching the home.

Before you burn that storm debris, remember the rules! 🪵🔥

🚫 Inside Fletcher Town Limits: No burning allowed (except approved fire pits).
✅ Outside Town Limits: Burn with extreme caution.

Stay Safe:
📉 Avoid burning if humidity is below 30%.
⏰ Be extra careful between 2 PM – 4 PM (when humidity is lowest).
💨 Check wind speeds before lighting.
👨‍🚒 Stay with your fire until it is completely out.

Careless debris burning is the #1 cause of wildfires. Let’s do our part to keep our woods and homes safe! 🌲

⚠️ PUBLIC SAFETY ANNOUNCEMENT: FLETCHER FIRE & RESCUE ⚠️
We know the roads showed a lot of improvement throughout the day today, with the sunshine and plowing, but don't let that give you a false sense of security.
The road conditions you drove home on this afternoon will NOT be the same road conditions you face tomorrow morning. 🧊
As temperatures drop overnight, today’s melting snow and runoff will refreeze into Black Ice. It is nearly invisible and creates extremely hazardous conditions, especially on bridges, overpasses, and the many shaded curves throughout Henderson County.
Our message to you is simple:
Don't trust "wet" pavement: If it looks damp and the temp is below freezing, treat it as solid ice.
Adjust your schedule: Give yourself an extra 20 minutes, or wait for the sun to come up if possible.
The Golden Rule: It is much better to arrive at your destination a little late than to not make it there at all.
Help us keep our community safe and our first responders off the highway by staying alert and slowing down. 🚑🚒

Even when the calls are constant and the roads are tough, there are moments that make you stop and take it all in. ❄️

Our crews have been running hard keeping the community safe, but we couldn’t pass up the chance to capture how peaceful Fletcher Town Hall looks under a fresh blanket of snow. Stay warm and stay safe out there! 🚒💨
