Due to increased wildfire risk, the N.C. Forest Service has issued a ban on all open burning and has canceled all burning permits statewide effective 6 p.m. Saturday, March 28 until further notice.

Under North Carolina law, the ban prohibits all open burning in the affected counties, regardless of whether a permit was previously issued. The issuance of any new permits has also been suspended until the ban is lifted. Anyone violating the burn ban faces a $100 fine plus $183 court costs. Any person responsible for setting a fire may be liable for any expenses related to extinguishing the fire.

The burn ban does not apply to fires started within 100 feet of an occupied dwelling. The local fire marshal has authority to issue a burn ban within those 100 feet.

Report from Randolph County. Here's Coleridge-Erect Fire Department Tanker 95 at an outside fire + storage building yesterday on Buffalo Road. Believe it's a Kenworth/Rosenbauer. Readers, tell more.

The incident was first-due for East Side Fire Department with Westside, Ramseur, and Coleride-Erect added after the call was upgraded from the initial dispatch for an outside fire. The forest service was also on scene along with EMS and law enforcement.
