Fire danger is a phrase that’s making waves this week … some areas of NC are in better shape than others, with lower risk that fires ignite readily, spread rapidly and escape. Use the fire danger map available from the N.C. State Climate Office. See predicted fire danger for the current day and look ahead for predicted daily fire danger over the course of a week.

As seen in both images below which show predicted fire danger for Wednesday, Jan. 15 and Friday, Jan. 17, Western NC is looking better as expected. The Piedmont, Sandhills and Coastal Plain aren’t out of the woods just yet.
