Lack of Rain, dry, humid windy conditions create extreme fire danger; all outdoor burning prohibited
Conway, South Carolina — Horry County Government will enact an outdoor burn ban effective at 6:00 a.m. Wednesday, April 8, for all unincorporated areas of Horry County. The ban will remain in place until officials determine conditions have improved.
County officials say the decision is driven by extreme fire danger caused by low relative humidity, dry vegetation, and windy weather, all of which increase the likelihood that even small ignition sources could spark fast‑moving fires.
Under the ban, all outdoor burning is prohibited, including previously permitted burns. Anyone who conducts open burning during the ban may be subject to enforcement action.
