🔥 Central NC, including Wake County, are facing higher fire risks due to dry conditions. 🚫 Avoid outdoor burning. 🧯 Keep fire extinguishers nearby. 🔥 Clear dry vegetation around your home. 👀 Report smoke and fires Stay alert & protect your community! #FireSafety
⚠️There is increased fire danger through Tuesday evening for central NC. 🔥A combination of dry fuels with low RH this afternoon and gusty winds tomorrow will cause an elevated risk of adverse fire behavior over the next two days. Outdoor burning is strongly discouraged. #NCwx
