FIRE DANGER STATEMENT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE COLUMBIA SC
456 AM EDT MON MAR 28 2022
..RED FLAG FIRE ALERT
THE SOUTH CAROLINA FORESTRY COMMISSION STATEWIDE RED FLAG FIRE
ALERT REMAINS IN EFFECT.
THE ALERT IS BEING ISSUED TO DISCOURAGE PEOPLE FROM BURNING
OUTDOORS WHEN WEATHER CONDITIONS PRESENT AN ELEVATED RISK OF
WILDFIRE. FORECASTS ARE CALLING FOR LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITIES AND
HIGHER-THAN-NORMAL WIND SPEEDS ACROSS MUCH OF THE STATE THROUGH
THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK.
A RED FLAG FIRE ALERT DOES NOT PROHIBIT OUTDOOR BURNING, PROVIDED
THAT ALL OTHER STATE AND LOCAL REGULATIONS ARE FOLLOWED, BUT THE
FORESTRY COMMISSION USES THE ALERT TO STRONGLY ENCOURAGE CITIZENS
TO VOLUNTARILY POSTPONE ANY SUCH BURNING UNTIL THE ALERT IS
LIFTED. LAND MANAGERS WHO ARE CONSIDERING CONDUCTING PRESCRIBED
FIRES SHOULD TAKE EXTRA CARE IF THEY CHOOSE TO BURN UNDER A RED
FLAG.
