On April 11, 2022 the Town of Sims Board of Commissioners amended a recently approved Burn Ordinance to continue to allow for Controlled Burns under the supervision of the Sims Volunteer Fire Department, given certain conditions are met, including prior approval from the State.

Given this update, the Sims Volunteer Fire Department has obtained permission from the State and the Town of Sims to schedule the controlled burn of a structure on Tuesday, April 26, 2022 at 6pm at 6730 Flat Rock Road. Please be aware there will be smoke in the area from this burn, as well as multiple area Fire Department Stations attending to this fire for training purposes. Please avoid the area if possible, and take any necessary precautions if you have health conditions which are worsened by smoke.

Thank you!
