Last week was our lucky week when Ramseur’s Girl Scout Troop 2164 brought us a wagonload of their famous Girl Scout Cookies! Who doesn’t love their cookies? Thank you for thinking of us!

Thank you Loflin Funeral Home for thinking of us this week. Many people don’t realize that we operate at an Emergency Medical Technician level of care and respond with ambulances to medical emergencies. Often we arrive first and initiate the appropriate medical care.

We made sure to celebrate our local community during EMS appreciate week 🚑

Randolph County will still be under the burn ban. We have not had enough rain for it to be lifted.

04/14/2026

Since the state-issued ban on open burning was enacted March 28, a total of 554 wildfires has burned more than 2,200 acres across the state. With little rainfall or improvement expected over the next 7-10 days, the statewide burn ban and enforcement action will continue until further notice.

Of the 554 wildfires that have burned since the burn ban took effect, only four have been determined to be the result of lightning strikes. Preliminary data indicates that 152 of those 554 wildfires were determined to be human caused, with the remainder listed as unknown or undetermined, likely pending law enforcement investigation and action. Since the state’s burn ban took effect, 150 citations have been issued for illegal burning.

During a state-issued burn ban, the same N.C. Forest Service personnel providing initial and extended attack for wildfire response are providing the necessary enforcement action to support the ban on open burning. Reducing the number of new ignitions is critical for sustaining adequate resource availability for an extended period, making state-issued bans a necessary tool for keeping wildfires contained and as small as possible until fully extinguished.

The public is urged to abide by the burn ban and to use extreme caution with farm equipment, machines, mowers, vehicles on dry grass, smoking materials such as ci******es, anything that can throw a spark. In current high-risk conditions, these could be a possible fire source. While not classified as open burning and not affected by the state’s ban on open burning, they are still contributors to new fire starts across the state.
