The burn ban was officially lifted as of 0800 this morning. While it is legal to burn again, it is worth pointing out that only natural vegetation from your property can be burned (no trash or any processed materials.) A permit is also required from the NC Forestry Service for any fires in the county. A link is provided below with details on how to obtain a permit. Thank you!

Prevent injury and damage to property by burning safely and following state laws. It’s important to always stay with the fire, keep burn piles/barrels at least 25 feet from any structure and do not use gasoline, kerosene or diesel fuel to ignite the fire.

To get out of the drought situation will take more heavy rain. So for now, the burn ban is still in effect.

🚒🔥 Public Service Announcement 🔥🚒
Yes… we’ve had a little sprinkle of rain.
No… it was not enough to undo weeks of dry conditions.
And yes… we are STILL under a burn ban.
We get it—the ground looks a little damp and the urge to clean up that brush pile is strong. But Mother Nature gave us a sip, not a soak. 🌧️
So just to clear things up:
❌ No burning leaves
❌ No burning brush
❌ No bonfires
❌ No “it’s just a small pile” burning
❌ No “I’ll watch it closely” burning
✔️ Yes, the burn ban still applies to everyone
Help us keep our crews safe and prevent unnecessary emergencies. We promise—the fire pit, burn pile, and backyard bonfire will still be there when conditions improve.
Until then… let’s keep the only thing burning your patience, not your yard. 😉
Thank you for doing your part!
