⚠️Burn Ban Remains in Effect – Rowan County

** Please share **

Rowan County’s burn ban REMAINS in place until further notice, in conjunction with the North Carolina Forest Service. This is a unified decision between both authorities.

Even though many other counties across the state have lifted their bans, Rowan County HAS NOT. We are still seeing conditions and fire activity that justify keeping this in place.

To be clear:

* ❌ No outdoor burning is allowed
* 🔥 The only exception is food preparation on a safety-certified grill

This applies everywhere:

* Within 100 feet of a structure (County Fire Marshal’s Office)
* Beyond 100 feet (N.C. Forest Service)

There’s no gray area right now—if it’s not a safety-certified grill for cooking, it’s not allowed.

We don’t take keeping this in place lightly, but we’re making decisions based on what we’re seeing here locally—not what other counties are doing.

We’ll update you as soon as conditions improve. Until then, we need everyone’s cooperation.
