Good morning, Greenville.

Gas prices in NC have reached an average of $3.75 per gallon today, up 2 cents in the past week and over a dollar from last month — officials cite global oil supply issues for the hike.

Pitt County officials warn residents about a statewide burn ban that takes effect Saturday as dry weather, low humidity, and shifting winds could spark fast-moving wildfires.

The ban prohibits open burning and campfires, with fines set for violations until conditions improve.

Eastern NC law enforcement agencies have begun offering identification tools (like markers) to help first responders recognize people with special needs and provide timely care.

The program is now available at local precincts.
