The little bit of rain we experienced this weekend almost felt helpful. You may have even thought, “Hey, maybe I can finally burn that brush pile?"

Yeah, about that. . .

Here’s the deal:
🚫 Kill Devil Hills does NOT allow open burning. Ever. (Yes, even that small pile. Even just for a minute.)
🚫 On top of that, the N.C. Forest Service has issued a statewide burn ban and cancelled all burning permits until further notice.

And while we appreciated the light rain this weekend, it didn’t do much to fix the ongoing dry conditions. (Just to be absolutely clear, the Town's no open burning rule is always in effect, rain or shine.)

🔥 Why this matters:
Dry conditions + open flames = fast-moving fires. That puts you, your home, your neighbors, and our firefighters at serious risk.

🚒 What you can do instead:
✔ Dispose of waste through approved methods
✔ Ensure anything capable of igniting a fire is properly stored, secured, and closely supervised at all times

We appreciate everyone doing their part to keep our Town safe!

According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), when you change your clocks forward for Daylight Saving Time on March 8th, 2026, you should also remember to change the batteries in your smoke alarms; essentially, "Change your Clock, Change your Batteries." This is a good reminder to test your smoke alarms and ensure they are functioning properly. Smoke Alarms should be replaced every 10 years. Check your carbon monoxide detectors as well and replace batteries, as necessary.
