Please don’t burn unless absolutely necessary.

Nearly half of all wildfires in North Carolina are the result of careless debris burning. Burning leaves, sticks, limbs and brush in the wrong weather conditions, not having the appropriate fire control tools while burning and turning your back on a fire can turn any yard cleanup project into a neighborhood’s worst nightmare. Don’t be that neighbor.

👉Check and monitor the weather. If the forecast indicates dry or windy conditions and elevated fire danger, let burning wait.
👉If you do burn, take the appropriate precautions. Get a valid burn permit. Have the right tools. Stay with and attentive to your fire until it is out cold.
