State Burning Ban In Effect Tomorrow

Buncombe County currently has a ban on open burning which has been extended until Sunday. NC Forest Service has issued a state wide ban on open burning that is in effect tomorrow morning. We have extreme fire conditions and hope everyone's using common sense and not burning outdoors. Due to dry conditions and high wind fires will spread quickly. Please remain vigilant and as always keep combustible fuels well away from your homes.
