Today's forecast: Hot. Tomorrow's forecast: Also hot.

The heat is no joke, so here are a few tips to stay safe:

💧 Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water! Don’t wait until you’re thirsty. (Spoiler alert: we're told energy drinks don't count towards hydration.)

🌳 Take breaks in the shade or air conditioning when possible.

👕 Wear light-colored, loose-fitting clothing. Our Auxiliary has the perfect t-shirts for sale!

🚗 Never leave children, seniors, or pets in a parked vehicle, not even “just for a minute.”

🐕 If the pavement is too hot for your bare feet, it's too hot for your pet's paws.

🔥 Be careful with outdoor grilling and equipment. A dry environment plus heat plus sparks equals a bad time.

☀️ Sign up for beach condition alerts on OBXAlerts.com, which include extreme heat alerts

We fight fires. We do not fight the sun. Help us out by staying cool, staying hydrated, and checking on neighbors who may need assistance. Please take care of yourselves and each other. We're here if you need us. 😎

Friendly reminder: this is what a fire lane is for. 🚒

When we have to respond to an emergency, we need room for apparatus, equipment, and crews to operate safely. Parking in or blocking a fire lane can create delays when time matters most.

If your vehicle is parked in a fire lane, our trucks can’t be. Help us keep these lanes clear so we can get help where it's needed as quickly as possible because every second counts.

And don't forget, move over for lights & sirens. Every second counts in an emergency! 🚒

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!
