Planning to grill this weekend?

Give your grill some space. Use grills outdoors and keep them away from your home, deck railings, eaves, and tree branches. Never use a grill on a porch or balcony. And remember, never leave a hot grill unattended.

Hurricane Season Taught Us: Wildfires Could Be Next

When Hurricane Helene hit, thousands of acres of downed timber and debris became fuel for wildfires. Wildfires weren't just a western problem anymore. The good news? North Carolina's fire service and the NC Forest Service are ready. We work together year-round to prepare. But we can't do it alone.

Your Role in Wildfire Preparedness:

✅ Create defensible space around your home (clear dead trees, remove branches overhanging your roof)
✅ Properly dispose of yard debris
✅ Search out & follow burn bans when they're in effect, utilizing the NC Forest Service
✅ Know your evacuation routes before an emergency
✅ Stay informed through trusted weather sources

For Fire Departments and First Responders: Wildland firefighting training starts now. Don't wait for fire season. Wildfire readiness is a shared responsibility. Preparation begins now.

What's your community doing to prepare for wildfire season? Share in the comments. 👇
