Alert

Burning Banned Until 8PM Friday

No open burning until 8PM Friday due to dry conditions, wind, and very low relative humidity.

Very dry air will continue across the region today, with relative humidity percentages falling well into the teens, if not the single digits, this afternoon. Meanwhile, brush and other surface fuels continue to dry out. Although winds will be less gusty than yesterday, the combination of very dry air and fuels will increase fire danger across the western Carolinas again today.

Instructions:

If you witness someone burning in Buncombe County contact 911 to report.
