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.

👉INCREASED FIRE DANGER JAN. 15, 2026 – POSTPONE OUTDOOR BURNING👈

Due to low relative humidity, dry fuels and windy conditions, fire danger is elevated across North Carolina. Outdoor burning is NOT recommended. Dry grasses, dead leaves and other vegetative debris could easily ignite and spread quickly.

Spread prevention, not wildfire.

🎯Contact your local NCFS county ranger before burning outdoors. https://bit.ly/3lpoWR0
🎯Check weather alerts for your area: weather.gov
