Training Burn Notice – Rosman Fire Rescue

On Saturday, June 13, 2026, Rosman Fire Rescue will be conducting a live training burn at a residence located on GW Whitmire Road.

This training exercise provides firefighters with valuable hands-on experience in fire suppression, search and rescue operations, ventilation techniques, and incident command under realistic conditions. These controlled burns are an important part of ensuring our personnel remain prepared to protect our community safely and effectively.

Residents in the area may notice smoke, fire apparatus, and increased emergency vehicle activity throughout the day. Please do not be alarmed, as this is a planned training event conducted under controlled conditions and in accordance with all applicable safety regulations.

We appreciate the cooperation and support of the property owner and our community as we continue to train and improve our skills.

*Posts in community Facebook group*: "Did anyone see smoke on Rosman Highway?!?"

🔥 Don't worry; it's supposed to be there! The Brevard Fire Department will conduct a live burn training exercise at 401 Rosman Highway on Thursday, May 21, between 5:30 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. The department will close one lane of Rosman Highway in front of the site during the exercise.

The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services has issued a permit to BFD to demolish the structure using controlled fire evolutions, and there is no need to report smoke from the structure fire on Rosman Highway during that time.

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.
