🔥 Wheat Field Fires & Agricultural Burns – What to Know 🌾

Over the coming weeks, you may notice large columns of smoke rising across Duplin County. Don't be alarmed — this is a common sight during this time of year as farmers begin controlled burns in harvested wheat fields. These agricultural burns help remove leftover crop residue, manage pests, and prepare the land for the next planting season.

These fires are intentionally set and carefully managed to reduce wildfire risk and support local agriculture. However, they can produce a lot of visible smoke — sometimes enough to cause concern.

📞 If you ever believe a fire appears to be out of control or spreading beyond its intended area, don’t hesitate — call 911 immediately. It’s always better to be safe than sorry.

We appreciate your awareness and support of our agricultural community!

🔥High Fire Danger Remains Across North Carolina!

🚫🔥A Statewide Burn Ban Remains in Place.

‼️Do. Not. Burn.

🚒 The N.C. Forest Service reports that as of today, there has been over 626 new fires over the last 10 days, with over 114 occurring statewide since the burn ban took effect on Saturday.

👏 Thankfully as of tonight, the vast majority of these fires have been quickly controlled by our state's firefighters, park rangers, and state forest service rangers. Thank you for your bravery and hard work! The Old North State is proud of you!

❗️Do your part- do not burn outdoors. If you smoke, extinguish your ci**rs or ci******es in an appropriate manner. Report anyone burning outside to 911 so firefighters can extinguish it before it becomes a wildfire!

Due to low relative humidity, dry fuels and windy conditions, fire danger is elevated across the southern Piedmont into the Sandhills today, Jan. 11.

Outdoor burning is NOT recommended. Dry grasses, dead leaves and other vegetative debris could easily ignite and spread quickly.

Spread prevention, not wildfire.
