...INCREASED FIRE DANGER CONTINUES THROUGHOUT CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA TODAY...

Exceptionally dry fuels, low relative humidity values, and gusty
southwest winds will lead to an increased risk of wildfires and
adverse fire behavior again today.

Dry grasses and dry forests 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.
