Fire ban still in effect!

Some government agencies have rescinded bans against outdoor burning, but not the U-S Forest Service’s Andrew Pickens Ranger District in Oconee County.  The fire ban there means no campfires or burning throughout the Andrew Pickens district.  The Forest Service requests that you keep in mind that while driving or parking in tall grass or weeds that fires can quickly be ignited by a vehicle and from a dragged chain.  If you smoke, be sure to smoke in your vehicle or within a 3′ x 3′ area that is clear of any vegetation.
