Word is out and things are about to get HOT up in Greenville and Spartanburg Counties in South Carolina, as the state Forestry Commission on Saturday announced, as of 6AM Sunday, residents can set shit on fire again without fear of being prosecuted for starting a massive conflagration.
“The State Forester’s Burning Ban will be lifted for Greenville and Spartanburg counties, effective at 6 am Sunday, Oct 6. The Forestry Commission is lifting the ban after evaluating conditions in these counties and in consultation with county fire officials. The ban will remain in place for Aiken, Greenwood and Saluda counties until further notice. The ban was issued Tuesday to ease the strain on firefighting personnel and law enforcement officials – from both the Forestry Commission and from local fire departments – many of whom were dispatched to affected areas to assist with road clearing, damage assessment and related cleanup. Citizens who plan to burn storm debris in the counties no longer affected by the ban must make notification to the Forestry Commission, take proper precautions and conduct safe outdoor burning, staying with the fire until it is completely out”
Sucks for residents of Aiken, Greenwood and Saluda counties. No reckless pyromania for them yet.
