Subject: Burn Ban in Effect

*** BURN BAN IN EFFECT UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE ***

Due to increased fire risk, the N.C. Forest Service has issued a ban on all open burning. The Randolph County Fire Marshal has also issued a burn ban on all open burning for all of Randolph County.  The N.C. Forest Service has canceled all burning permits statewide effective at 5 p.m. today (11/29/2021) UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.

This means no outdoor burning of any kind to include, but is not limited to, leaves and tree limbs.

“It is fall wildfire season in North Carolina, and we are seeing wildfire activity increase due to dry conditions,” said Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler. “With these ongoing conditions, a statewide burn ban is necessary to reduce the risk of fires starting and spreading quickly. Our top priority is always to protect lives, property, and forestland across the state.”

Stay tuned to local media or visit the N.C. Forest Service for the most up-to-date information. https://www.ncforestservice.gov/<https://www.ncforestservice.gov/?fbclid=IwAR3-yxFTlP_kaaIpGWnSoJ1kU5v6L9j91otuFR9shI6oF2NNS7Tcw8h8GGk>
