The burn ban in South Carolina has been lifted for 44 counties as of 5 p.m. on Wednesday, but it remains in place for Georgetown and Horry counties. This decision was made due to ongoing wildfire risks in those areas. The ban was put in place to prevent accidental fires during dry conditions, but with the recent rainfall and improved weather conditions in most parts of the state, authorities have decided to lift the ban in the majority of counties.
Residents in the affected counties are urged to exercise caution when burning debris or conducting controlled burns. They should also check with local authorities for any additional restrictions or guidelines in place. The ban may be re-imposed if conditions worsen or if there is an increase in wildfire threats in the area.
The safety and well-being of residents remain a top priority, and officials are continuously monitoring the situation to ensure that necessary precautions are taken to prevent wildfires and protect the community.
