🔥 A Quick Reminder from Your Rowan County Fire Marshal’s Office 🔥

Just a quick check-in to remind you that Rowan County is still under a burn ban.

This includes both the county burn ban and the North Carolina Forest Service ban, which means all outdoor burning is prohibited across the board.

We are continuing to see conditions where fires can spread quickly, and it doesn’t take much for something small to turn into a bigger incident.

👉 What this means for you:

* No burning of yard debris, trash, or natural vegetation
* No burn permits are valid at this time
*Be mindful of anything that could create sparks or open flames

This isn’t about stopping anyone from enjoying their property — it’s about protecting our community, your neighbors, and the responders who show up when things go wrong.

If you see outdoor burning, please report it so we can address it before it escalates.

We appreciate everyone doing their part to keep Rowan County safe.

— Rowan County Fire Marshal, N.C. Forest Service
