SC Forestry Commission lifts burning ban for all counties

COLUMBIA, SC (WOLO)–The South Carolina Forestry Commission has lifted the burn ban for all counties.
Officials say they believe the combination of rain, elevated relative humidity, improved overnight recovery and a lack of significant wind, warrants the removal of the burn ban.
Officials do continue to urge vigilance while burning outdoors as drought conditions persist.

According to the SC Forestry Commission, citizens who conduct outdoor burning of residential yard debris or prescribed burns must still notify the Forestry Commission before doing so.
