REMINDER! 🚨

Virginia’s 4 p.m. burning law is in effect until April 30. Note that some localities may have even more restrictive regulations on outdoor burning, so check with your locality before starting any outdoor burning.

🔥 Open-air burning is banned prior to 4 p.m. if the fire is within 300 feet of the woods or dry grass which could carry fire to the woods.

🔥 Burning is allowed between 4 p.m. and midnight as long as the burner takes proper precautions and attends the fire at all times.

December, January, and February are the peak months for heating fires. Space heaters are most often involved in these incidents.

Stay safe by keeping space heaters at least 3 feet from anything that can burn, and always turn them off when leaving the room or going to bed. Go to nfpa.org/winterfreeze for more tips.

Awareness saves lives. 💙 In the span of just one week, two young autistic children were rescued alive after wandering and being found in water. These outcomes were possible because responding officers knew to search water first—a critical understanding when an autistic child is missing.

At NAA, we continue to raise awareness about wandering and water safety because the risks are real—and preventable.

We are grateful these stories ended in rescue, not tragedy. Let’s keep working together to protect autistic children and support families with empathy, education, and action.
