Cumberland County, VA (June 24, 2024)
Message from County of Cumberland-- In response to the ongoing drought conditions and the associated rise in brush fires, Cumberland County has instituted a ban on open air burning effective immediately and until further notice. The extreme heat has significantly increased the risk to our volunteer firefighters and the broader community.
This measure is essential to safeguard public safety and reduce the strain on our emergency response resources. We urge all residents to comply with this ban and take necessary precautions to prevent fire hazards during this period of heightened risk.
Additional questions should be directed to Fire and EMS Chief Andy Aigner at 804-586-1825.
This is just one of the many reasons why CuCPS is such a special place. Ms. Ellinghausen received this note on her final day at CMS. We know she will do great on her next journey...#WeAreCuCPS
