County imposes burn ban amid dry conditions
Henderson County officials announce an outdoor burning ban due to unseasonably warm weather and low humidity raising fire risk. The U S Forest Service notes numerous wildfires and advises residents and visitors to check restrictions while Forest Service crews work on active fires in Nantahala and Pisgah forests. County officials warn dead trees and debris heighten danger and plan steps with the state to reduce risk. The ban remains until conditions improve and the fire marshal’s office provides details.
