Fall is a great time to prepare your home for winter weather emergencies! Winter storms can knock out power and keep you from traveling for days. Keep enough non-perishable food, water and medications for at least 3 days. Ensure you have warm clothing and blankets. Make sure you have an updated first aid kit. Charge your phone in advance and check for wireless emergency alerts. weather.gov

PLANNING TO BURN BRUSH? KNOW BEFORE YOU BURN!

The Johnston County Burn Ban expired in September. While there is currently NO countywide burn ban in effect, residents should continue practicing responsible outdoor burning.

BEFORE YOU BURN:

Notify Non-Emergency Dispatch: (580) 371-2646. Provide your name, address, and location of the planned burn. This helps dispatch identify controlled burns if smoke is reported.

Check Weather Conditions: Avoid burning during windy conditions, elevated fire danger, or when an ozone or particulate matter alert is in effect.

Prepare Your Burn Area: Clear combustible vegetation around your brush pile to establish a firebreak. Keep water, shovels, and other firefighting equipment readily available.

Burn Only Permitted Materials: Brush, limbs, and other allowable vegetation generated on your property may generally be burned. Never burn tires, plastics, treated lumber, or other prohibited materials.

Never Leave a Fire Unattended: Maintain control of your burn and ensure all flames and embers are completely extinguished before leaving.

IMPORTANT REMINDERS:

Smoke must not create hazards for nearby roadways or surrounding properties.

Municipalities may have additional restrictions or permit requirements.

Property owners may be held responsible for damages caused by escaped fires.

Even without a burn ban, conditions may be too dangerous for outdoor burning.

If your fire escapes or becomes uncontrollable, call 911 immediately!

No Burn Ban Does NOT Mean No Fire Danger!
