Happy Mother’s Day from all of us at Oregon Hill Vol. Fire Department! 🌸🚒❤️

Today we celebrate the incredible moms, grandmothers, stepmoms, moms in waiting and mother figures who support, encourage, and care for their families and communities every single day. Thank you for the love, strength, and sacrifices you make that often go unseen.

We especially want to recognize the mothers who serve alongside us, support us from home, and stand behind every call we answer.

Wishing you a day filled with love, appreciation, and time with the ones who matter most. Happy Mother’s Day! 💕

Burn ban remains in effect

The statewide burn ban remains in effect until further notice despite weekend rain in some areas. Persistent dry weather and increasing rainfall deficits from the last several months have left most of the state needing 10 inches of rain or more.

“While the rainfall we received over the weekend was a welcome sight, it offered little to no relief from widespread drought conditions while being nowhere near enough to reduce our wildfire risk,” said Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler. “Even the areas that received the heaviest amount of rain will quickly dry out from the sunshine and warmer temperatures. Until we get some additional rain and see more green-up in our forests, holding the burn ban in place statewide is the best option right now.”

While green-up and leaf-out are progressing at normal rate, low soil moisture, dry surface fuels and persistent low humidity are contributing to wildfire activity. For Western North Carolina, excessive forest fuels from Hurricane Helene are more available now than they were in 2025, low water levels in coastal areas have helped produce intense fire behavior where ground fire will likely be a long-term issue, and the Piedmont experienced 87 new wildfire starts over the weekend alone. Extended attack and mop-up efforts will be taxing and long-winded until drought conditions improve.
