#ResistWildfireNC this #FourthOfJuly weekend. Spread prevention, not wildfire. Attend organized and professional fireworks displays in your communities. If you take the risk of using your own fireworks, please do it safely. Check for any local burning restrictions.

Crews have been able to hold the Ferebee Road Fire to 1,938 acres for the duration of one week. Fire containment is at 55% as the fire area is reaping the benefits of successful water operations. Rain showers in the area Saturday evening and Sunday morning helped provided brief aid to firefighting crews while southerly winds continued to push smoke from the area. Water flow from nearby canals is beginning to seep into the edges of the fire area. Pumping operations have pulled more than 300 million gallons of water from New Lake and 48 million from Phelps Lake.
