Countywide Burn Ban Issued for Pitt
Ban prohibits the creation of all outdoor open burning activities

PITT COUNTY, N.C. – Due to recent weather patterns affecting Pitt County, local Emergency Management officials in conjunction with the North Carolina Forest Service have issued a countywide burning ban effective at 8:00 a.m. Friday, March 21, 2025.

The burning ban prohibits the creation of any outdoor open burning for activities such as bonfires, yard vegetation, and land clearing.

It is spring wildfire season in North Carolina, and current conditions have increased risks associated with outside burning in Pitt County. The current weather patterns of high winds and low humidity have resulted in extremely dry conditions of dormant vegetation, which increases the risk of easier fire ignition of material such as leaves, grass, trees and plants.

Individuals that violate the burning ban will be required to extinguish the fire and could be subject to legal action.

The burning ban will remain in effect until such time that weather conditions reduce the increased threat of fire.

For more information, contact Pitt County Emergency Management at 252-902-3950.

The Mission of Pitt County Government is to enhance the health, safety, and well-being of our community by advocating for and providing quality services in a friendly and cost-effective manner. Learn more: www.PittCountyNC.gov

Construction related to the BUILD Project is scheduled to close an intersection in the downtown area beginning next week, as two others reopen following work as part of the same project.

The intersection of Evans Street and Fifth Street is scheduled to close to motorists on Monday, March 24, 2025. The closure is expected to be in place for approximately 3-4 months to allow for improvements including wider sidewalks, brick crosswalks, traffic signal upgrades, site furnishings, and street trees.

This closure will follow the reopening of Fifth Street's intersections at Greene Street and Cotanche Street, which are scheduled to take place by the end of the day Friday, March 21.

Motorists attempting to travel north on Evans Street will be detoured onto Reade Circle. Eastbound motorists on Fifth Street can detour onto Washington Street or Reade Circle, while westbound traffic can detour onto Reade Street or Cotanche Street.

Downtown businesses will remain open and accessible, but the block of Evans Street between Fifth Street and Fourth Street will be accessible by pedestrians only during this work.

This construction is part of the $48.5-million Better Utilizing Investments to Leverage Development (BUILD) Project that began in August 2023. For more information about the BUILD Project, including an updated project timeline and detour routes, visit buildprojects.greenvillenc.gov.
