...INCREASED FIRE DANGER TUESDAY FROM 11 AM TO 7 PM...
The combination of afternoon relative humidity values around 40%
and very dry fine fuels will result in an increased risk for the
spread of wildfires Tuesday afternoon across interior Eastern
North Carolina.
Everyone is urged to properly dispose of cigarette butts,
matches, and any other flammable items in appropriate containers.
Additionally, exercise caution if operating any equipment that
could create sparks, and keep vehicles off of dry grass. Most dry
grasses, dead leaves, and other tree litter could easily ignite
and spread fire quickly.
A statewide burn ban issued by the North Carolina Forest Service
is currently in place. All open burning is prohibited until
further notice.
