...INCREASED FIRE DANGER FOR NORTHEAST NORTH CAROLINA TODAY...

The combination of dry fuels, S-SW winds of 10 to 15 mph gusting 
to around 20 to 25 mph this afternoon, and relative humidity 
values dropping to 25 to 30% will result in an increased fire 
danger threat for northeastern North Carolina.

The North Carolina Forest Service has issued a statewide ban on 
all open burning until further notice, and all burning permits 
have been cancelled. Residents with questions can contact their NC
Forest Service county ranger or their county fire marshal's 
office.
