Statewide Burn Ban issued for North Carolina

Updated March 31, 2026 at 4:00 p.m.
Effective Saturday, March 28, 2026, the North Carolina Forest Service has issued a statewide open burning ban due to adverse atmospheric conditions, including extreme fire danger conditions that are forecasted, including low humidity, gusty winds, and dry fuels.
The ban applies to all open burning, including camp fires, fires in pits, yard waste, debris, and land-clearing burns. The local burn ban, issued by the Buncombe County Fire Marshal, applies to all open burning. The only exceptions are for barbecue grills and outdoor food preparation in an approved device.
This ban will remain in effect until further notice. It is never legal to burn anything other than naturally occurring vegetation.
For validation of permits and complaints on open burning 100 feet or more from structures, please contact the N.C. Forest Service at 828-667-5211 or 919-857-4801.
A Reminder: Open burning is never permitted within municipal limits.
