Hurricane Season is right around the corner

The statewide burn ban remains in effect until further notice despite weekend rain in some areas. Persistent dry weather and increasing rainfall deficits from the last several months have left most of the state needing 10 inches of rain or more.

The statewide burn ban remains in effect until further notice despite weekend rain in some areas. Persistent dry weather and increasing rainfall deficits from the last several months have left most of the state needing 10 inches of rain or more.

“While the rainfall we received over the weekend was a welcome sight, it offered little to no relief from widespread drought conditions while being nowhere near enough to reduce our wildfire risk,” said Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler. “Even the areas that received the heaviest amount of rain will quickly dry out from the sunshine and warmer temperatures. Until we get some additional rain and see more green-up in our forests, holding the burn ban in place statewide is the best option right now.”

While green-up and leaf-out are progressing at normal rate, low soil moisture, dry surface fuels and persistent low humidity are contributing to wildfire activity. For Western North Carolina, excessive forest fuels from Hurricane Helene are more available now than they were in 2025, low water levels in coastal areas have helped produce intense fire behavior where ground fire will likely be a long-term issue, and the Piedmont experienced 87 new wildfire starts over the weekend alone. Extended attack and mop-up efforts will be taxing and long-winded until drought conditions improve.

Please say a Prayer for our Brothers and Sisters at Long Bridge VFD. The lost a fellow Fire Fighters.

We've lost one of our own.

Patrick Pegram, firefighter #1410, who came to us as a junior member, 30 years ago and has been here ever since, has sadly passed away. He was more than just a member, he was our family.

Patrick dedicated his life to firefighting.
He went on to join many other local departments throughout his life, while also maintaining his position here, and eventually fulfilled his life's dream of becoming a career firefighter with the city of Roanoke Rapids while never abandoning his various volunteer positions. He truly loved firefighting in every capacity and helping others. He especially loved guiding new
firefighters and helping them on their new path. He was always there to build them up.

His service will be public at Sunset Hills Cemetery in Littleton at 2pm on Wednesday, April 22nd. All are welcome to come show their support and to honor him.

Our grief is immeasurable in this tough time. It's a huge loss for our
department, his family and the whole community. Please keep his loved ones in your thoughts and prayers.
