The South Carolina Forestry Commission has issued a new Red Flag Alert across the state due to heightened fire risk. This alert indicates that weather conditions—such as low humidity, high winds, and dry vegetation—could lead to rapid fire spread.
During a Red Flag Alert, outdoor burning is strongly discouraged, and some local burn permits may be suspended. Residents are encouraged to postpone any open flame activities and remain vigilant for signs of wildfire activity.
We ask everyone to do their part in keeping our community safe. Stay informed, follow local fire safety guidelines, and report any signs of smoke or fire to authorities immediately.
