Lingering smoke tied to the Marion County wildfire; burning ban remains active
Calabash, NC — Smoke from an active wildfire in Marion County, South Carolina has weaseled northward, pushing haze and a strong odor of smoke into parts of the Southeast Cape Fear region. The wildfire continues to produce enough smoke to travel well beyond county lines, creating periods of reduced air quality across our area.
Residents are urged to call 9-1-1 if they see heavy black smoke or visible flames from an outdoor fire
General haze, low‑lying smoke, or lingering odor is likely tied to the Marion County wildfire, which remains active. A burning ban remains in effect due to dangerously dry conditions, and no meaningful rain relief is expected in the near future. Officials continue to stress caution with any outdoor heat sources as wildfire risk remains elevated.
