I have declared a State of Emergency to further support wildfire response efforts across the state and ensure our first responders continue to have the resources they need. A statewide outdoor burning ban remains in effect—violators will be prosecuted. Please stay informed.

A statewide burning ban is now in effect due to dangerous wildfire conditions.
STATEWIDE BURNING BAN in effect until further notice.
SC FORESTRY COMMISSION ISSUES STATEWIDE BURNING BAN — The South Carolina Forestry Commission is issuing a State Forester’s Burning Ban for all counties, effective immediately.
A State Forester’s Burning Ban prohibits all outdoor burning, including yard debris burning, prescribed burning and campfires in all unincorporated areas of the state.
Very low relative humidities statewide, coupled with drying fuels resulting from the lack of significant rain, have resulted in 102 wildfire ignitions today alone. Much-higher-than-forecasted winds have led to these fires spreading rapidly and growing larger.
While a majority of the current wildfire activity is concentrated in the Pee Dee region, the rest of the state is experiencing a dramatic upticking in wildfires today, straining the capacity of agency firefighters to respond.
The ban will stay in effect until further notice, which will come in the form of an official announcement from the Forestry Commission.

Make plans now! Winter weather is unusual for our area, so many people may need additional time to prepare. Don’t wait until it is too late!
A Winter Storm Watch has been posted for southeast SC & southeast GA from Tuesday afternoon thru Wednesday morning. Snow accumulations of 1-3" are possible in most areas. Along the GA coast, there is more of a risk for a mix of freezing rain & snow where 1/4" of ice is possible.
