Last night we trained with Gumtree Fire & Rescue & Wallburg Fire & Rescue on extended large diameter hose lays. We were able to get our initial water started from our on board tanks and then switch over to our supply line that was 2000’ long. With the help of the other departments we were able to flow 1750 gpm. This is one way we are always working to save our tax payers $ on insurance premiums and make sure we are able to handle fires that aren’t close to a fire hydrant. #NcFire
Thank you for all you do!!!
Happy Monday! Low relative humidity and winds gusting to around 25 mph today promotes an increase in fire danger. Outdoor burning is discouraged. 🔥⚠️

Wondering about a burn ban? The N.C. Forest Service has not enacted a burn ban but is urging landowners to think before burning yard debris. Check local burning laws. Some communities allow burning only during specified hours. Others forbid it entirely.
Remember, get a burn permit online at www.ncforestservice.gov/burnpermit or contact your NCFS county ranger's office for assistance. Contact info: bit.ly/3lpoWR0 #ResistWildfireNC
Dry air with low humidity and brisk, gusty winds Friday will lead to an increased fire danger across most of NC. All outdoor burning is discouraged, as flames may quickly spread out of control. #ncwx
