Public Safety Announcement – Waterway Hazard

Due to ongoing drought conditions, water levels on Mountain Island Lake and Lake Wylie are significantly lower than normal. This creates serious hazards for boaters, especially after dark.

What to watch for:

- Submerged objects that are now just below the surface
- Shallow areas that are difficult to see
- Exposed rocks, stumps, and debris
- Changing channels and unexpected drop-offs

Nighttime boating is especially dangerous right now. Many of these hazards are not visible in low light, increasing the risk of grounding, damage, or injury.

Safety Tips:

- Avoid boating at night if possible
- Reduce speed and stay in marked channels
- Keep a proper lookout at all times
- Use depth finders and navigation aids
- Always wear a life jacket

Please use extra caution and help us keep everyone safe on the water.

Public Notice: Night Training at Tuckaseege Park

Tonight after dark, our department will be conducting training in and around Tuck Park. This exercise will involve the use of a drone as we work with new technology designed to help us locate incidents on the water in low-light and nighttime conditions.

You may notice drone activity and personnel in the area, but please know this is planned training and there is no cause for concern.

We appreciate your support as we continue to train and improve our ability to serve and protect our community day or night.

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.
