Details

Exceptionally dry fuels, low relative humidity values, and gusty
southwest winds will lead to an increased risk of wildfires again
on Thursday.

Most dry grasses, dead leaves, and other tree litter could easily
ignite and spread fire quickly. Residents and visitors are 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 leaves and grass.

A statewide burn ban issued by the North Carolina Forest Service
is currently in place. Open burning of any kind is illegal.
