Let outdoor burning wait. Wind gusts, low relative humidity and dry vegetative fuels will increase the likelihood that fires grow and spread rapidly. Spread prevention, not wildfire.

Before burning, contact your local N.C. Forest Service county ranger’s office for guidance. Contacts: https://bit.ly/3lpoWR0
