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. $$
