The City of Greensboro and all of Guilford County remain under an open-burning ban because of extremely dry conditions and an elevated wildfire risk, the city’s weekly flash briefing said.
The recorded announcement said there has been little or no measurable rainfall in many days and that officials have raised the area's wildfire risk. As a result, all open burning is banned regardless of distance from homes. The briefing urged residents who see smoke to call 911 immediately.
The briefing did not specify the length of the burn ban or any enforcement penalties; those details were not provided in the recorded update. Residents seeking updates or specific guidance were directed to the city’s communications channels.
