West Virginia Wildfire Activity Remains Minimal Across the State
Wildfire activity across West Virginia is quiet, with no major wildland fires burning statewide. State forestry personnel continue to operate under normal non-emergency conditions.
Conditions and Outlook
No Red Flag Warnings or Fire Weather Watches are in effect, though a Heat Advisory covers western, central, and northern counties. An approaching cold front will bring showers and thunderstorms into Friday, keeping significant wildland fire potential at its lowest level across all regions.
Burn Bans and Land Management
Statutory fall burning restrictions begin October 1; until then, anyone burning outdoor debris must maintain a 10-foot cleared ring to bare dirt and attend the fire until it is fully extinguished.
What Residents Should Do
- Clear a 10-foot safety ring to bare dirt before burning outdoor debris.
- Never leave an outdoor fire unattended until it is completely extinguished.
