The State Forester's burning ban has been lifted for all counties in S.C.  as of April 2. 

According to the press release, progress has been made on containing the wildfires.  The Table Rock Complex and the Covington Drive fire locations will continue to be monitored by local resources. 

The press release reminds the public to remain cautious when burning outdoors. Those responsible for allowing fires to spread will face full legal accountability.

“Citizens who may plan to conduct outdoor burning of residential yard debris or prescribed burns must still notify the Forestry Commission before doing so,” the release read. “Notification procedures as well as mandatory precautions for conducting burns may be found on the SCFC website: scfc.gov/protection/fire-burning/.” 

This story has been updated since it was printed in the April 3 edition, which was designed on April 1, to reflect that the ban has now been lifted for all counties, including Spartanburg, Pickens, Oconee, Greenville and Horry Counties.
