Be safe and have a Happy 4th of July!!

The South Carolina Forestry Commission wishes everyone has a safe and happy Fourth of July weekend! As extremely dry conditions persist across areas of the state, particularly in the P*e Dee and coastal areas, please exercise caution if you choose to burn debris, grill or light fireworks. With many people off work and enjoying outdoor activities — including cookouts and lighting fireworks — along with abnormally dry fuels, the potential for danger is higher than normal.

Remember, fireworks, outdoor cooking and debris burning CAN start wildfires. As always, you are liable under state law for any fire you light that escapes, regardless of whether it started as a bottle rocket or a barbeque.⁠

If you plan to burn debris outdoors, use extreme caution be sure to follow these steps:
-Limit their fires to vegetative material like leaves, limbs and branches
-Clear a firebreak around the burning site
-Have the right equipment available to keep the fire under control
-Stay with the fire until it is completely safe

Today, we remember the Charleston 9.

On June 18, 2007, the Charleston Fire Department suffered an unimaginable loss when nine firefighters lost their lives while courageously responding to the Sofa Super Store fire.

We honor and remember:

• Brad Baity
• Mike Benke
• Melvin Champaign
• James Earl Drayton
• Michael French
• Billy Hutchinson
• Mark Kelsey
• Louis Mulkey

Their bravery, sacrifice, and dedication to protecting others will never be forgotten. As we mark this anniversary, we pay tribute to these heroes and keep their families, friends, and fellow firefighters in our thoughts.

We are so fortunate to receive this grant funding to purchase critical equipment needed to move forward with the addition of a Station #3 in the Springfield Ch road area.
Hopefully land will be acquired very soon.

As of this morning we are receiving illegal burn notifications on Lakeshore Drive.
Just a reminder, we continue to be in a burn ban for the foreseeable future until we get adequate precipitation. South Carolina Forestry Commission will remove the Ban as soon as conditions improve.

The Eureka area is experiencing heavy smoke due to a wildfire in Georgia. We have received multiple calls for possible fires in the area but everything fortunately is from the migrating smoke.
This is going to make it extremely hard to distinguish a “real fire” in the area. We ask everyone to continue to follow the burn ban for outdoor burning and to report any flames observed.
Everyone be safe.
