The men and women of the Stack Road Volunteer Fire Department extend our sincere and deepest condolences to the Durham Fire Department following the tragic loss of one of their own while responding to a fire early this morning.

We stand with the fallen firefighter’s family, loved ones, and fellow members of the Durham Fire Department during this difficult time.

Every time a firefighter answers the call, they do so with a commitment to serve and protect their community, knowing the inherent risks of the profession. Today, we are reminded of the sacrifice that firefighters and their families make in service to others.

Please keep the fallen firefighter’s family, friends, and the entire Durham Fire Department in your thoughts and prayers as they mourn this tremendous loss.

May they rest in peace, and may their service and sacrifice never be forgotten.

🔥 NEVER TURN YOUR BACK ON YOUR BURN PILE!

Nearly half of all North Carolina wildfires are the result of careless debris burning. What may start as a small, controlled fire can quickly become dangerous when conditions change or a fire is left unattended.

👀 Stay attentive.
💨 Be aware of changing wind conditions.
💧 Keep water and firefighting tools nearby.
🔥 Never leave your burn pile unattended.

Help protect your home, property, and our community. Stay safe. Stay attentive. 🚒🧯

🚒 Stack Road Volunteer Fire Department 🚒

Today, our crews responded to a field fire caused by dry conditions and an electric fence. While we did receive a small amount of rain recently, it has not been enough to significantly reduce the risk of fires in our area.

Conditions remain dry, and it doesn’t take much—a spark, exposed wire, or equipment—to start a fire that can quickly spread.

We want to remind everyone to please stay mindful and aware:
🔥 Be cautious when using equipment or anything that could produce sparks
🔥 Regularly check electric fences and outdoor wiring
🔥 Do not burn debris until the burn ban is lifted
🔥 Report any signs of smoke or fire immediately

Even small precautions can make a big difference in keeping our community safe. Thank you for doing your part.

Stay safe,
Stack Road Volunteer Fire Department

🚫🔥 Burn Ban Still in Effect — Even With Recent Light Rain 🔥🚫

A reminder to all residents: the burn ban issued by the N.C. Forest Service remains in effect until further notice.

Even with the small amount of recent rain, dry and windy conditions persist, and the risk of wildfires remains extremely high. For everyone’s safety, all open burning is strictly prohibited at this time. This includes burning yard debris, trash, and any type of outdoor fire.

🚨 What this means:
• No open burning of any kind
• Violations may result in fines or penalties

Protecting our community is our top priority. Please continue to follow this order and stay alert.

If you see smoke or fire, call 911 immediately.

We will share updates as conditions change. Thank you for doing your part to keep our community safe.
