As the Cape Fear region continues to see moderate drought conditions, county officials have issued burn bans and water conservation alerts. In addition, the North Carolina Forest Service has issued a ban on all open burning and has canceled all burning permits for 26 counties, including New Hanover, Pender, and Brunswick.
The N.C. Forest Service s burning ban goes into effect today, May 24, 2021. It will remain in effect until further notice.
