The State Forester's Burning Ban remains in place for Aiken, Greenwood, and Saluda counties until 6 am Monday. The ban was issued Tuesday to ease the strain on firefighting personnel and law enforcement officials, from both the Forestry Commission and 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. $$
