...INCREASED FIRE DANGER TODAY ACROSS THE SANDHILLS AND SOUTHEAST
COASTAL PLAIN OF NORTH CAROLINA...

The combination of low relative humidity values of 25 to 35
percent, periodic gusts up to 15 to 20 mph, and very dry fuels
will lead to an increased fire danger today over southern and
southeast portions of central North Carolina.

Dry grasses, dead leaves, and other tree litter could easily
ignite and spread fire quickly. People in this area are urged to
properly dispose of cigarette butts, matches, and any other
flammable items in appropriate containers. 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.
