A Fire Danger Statement is now in effect for several counties in the listening area, including Kershaw and Fairfield, as conditions become favorable for wildfire spread. Forecasters say a combination of dropping relative humidity, breezy winds, and dry fuels behind a passing front is increasing the risk. Outdoor burning is strongly discouraged, as fires could quickly get out of control. Residents are urged to use caution with anything that could spark a flame, including grills, cigarettes, and equipment. Stay tuned for updates and check with local officials for any burn restrictions.
