Thank You, Town of Gibson!

The Gibson Southwest District Fire Department would like to extend our sincere appreciation to the Town of Gibson for its continued support of our department and the safety of our community.

Thanks to the Town's recent purchase and donation of 4 SCBA air packs and 8 air bottles, our firefighters will be better equipped to operate safely and effectively during emergency incidents. This investment in life-saving equipment helps ensure that our personnel have the tools they need to protect both themselves and the citizens we proudly serve.

We are grateful for the Town of Gibson's commitment to public safety and its ongoing partnership with our department. Together, we are building a safer community for everyone.

Thank you for your support!

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.
