⚠️ With the rain that we have had in the last several days, the drought conditions in our county have greatly improved. As a result of this improvement, the Rockingham County Fire Marshal, Melissa Joyce, is rescinding the burn ban that was put into place on March 28, 2026.

The Rockingham County Fire Marshal, advises, “Outdoor debris burning in Rockingham County is permitted.” This order includes, but is not limited to, leaves, branches, debris, and other natural vegetation. In all cases, it is illegal to burn trash, lumber, tires, newspaper, plastics, or other nonvegetative materials.

The Rockingham County Fire Marshal would like to express her gratitude to the citizens of this county for their compliance with the burn ban while it was in effect.

Municipalities have their own burning regulations that apply within the city limits and within their Extra Territorial Jurisdictions (ETJs).

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.
