Increased Risk of Wildfire Due to Elevated Fire Danger -- Thursday, June 18, 2026

The National Weather Service has issued fire danger statements for central and eastern North Carolina. What does increased fire danger mean for you today?

🎯 Fires can start from the smallest spark.
🎯 Dry conditions and wind increase fire spread.
🎯 Everyday activities carry more risk right now.

Avoid burning, and be cautious with anything that could cause a spark. Properly dispose of smoking materials such as ci******es. Be extremely careful with machinery and farm equipment when working outdoors.

Contact your N.C. Forest Service county ranger's office for guidance.

Spread prevention, not wildfire.

Today, Pink Hill Volunteer Fire & Rescue proudly recognizes and celebrates, Brayden Burd, Aaron Smith, and Nathan Miller, three outstanding members of our department as they graduated from South Lenoir High School on Saturday.

Graduation is a significant accomplishment that reflects years of hard work, perseverance, and dedication. What makes this achievement even more impressive is that these young men balanced their academic responsibilities while also serving as volunteer firefighters and maintaining work commitments.

Their willingness to serve others, contribute to their community, and pursue their education demonstrates a level of commitment and maturity that should make them, their families, and our entire community proud.

We are honored to have each of them as members of the Pink Hill Volunteer Fire & Rescue family and look forward to seeing all they accomplish in the years ahead. The future is bright, and we have no doubt they will continue to make a positive impact wherever life takes them.

Please join us in congratulating our South Lenoir graduates on this incredible milestone! 👏🎉

🔥 Wheat Field Fires & Agricultural Burns – What to Know 🌾

Over the coming weeks, you may notice large columns of smoke rising across Duplin County. Don't be alarmed — this is a common sight during this time of year as farmers begin controlled burns in harvested wheat fields. These agricultural burns help remove leftover crop residue, manage pests, and prepare the land for the next planting season.

These fires are intentionally set and carefully managed to reduce wildfire risk and support local agriculture. However, they can produce a lot of visible smoke — sometimes enough to cause concern.

📞 If you ever believe a fire appears to be out of control or spreading beyond its intended area, don’t hesitate — call 911 immediately. It’s always better to be safe than sorry.

We appreciate your awareness and support of our agricultural community!

Today, Pink Hill Volunteer Fire & Rescue pauses to honor and remember the brave men and women of the United States Armed Forces who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.

Memorial Day is more than a holiday weekend — it is a day of reflection, gratitude, and remembrance for those who gave everything in service to our nation and the families who carry their legacy forward.

To all who served, and especially to those who never made it home — we thank you. Your courage, honor, and sacrifice will never be forgotten.

From all of us at Pink Hill Volunteer Fire & Rescue:
❤️ We Honor.
🤍 We Remember.
💙 We Are Forever Grateful.

Please join us today in taking a moment to remember the true meaning of Memorial Day.
