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.

🌟 Merry Christmas from Wallburg Fire & Rescue! 🌟
As we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace and the Light of the World, we are reminded of God’s greatest gift: His Son, born in a humble manger to bring hope, love, and salvation to all.
“For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.” – Luke 2:11
Our dedicated firefighters, rescuers, and volunteers are blessed to serve this community, protecting lives and property just as the Lord watches over us. This season, we give thanks for the guiding light that leads us through the darkest nights, and we pray for peace, safety, and joy in every home we serve.
May the wonder of that holy night fill your hearts with faith, your families with love, and your lives with His eternal peace.
