‘You have to be smart’: Community urged to follow burn ban as Covington Drive fire lingers
SUMMARY: Crews are continuing to fight the Covington Drive fire, which has burned 259 acres and is 80% contained. A recent statewide burn ban, effective since yesterday, aims to prevent further fires. Residents in the Walker Woods community emphasize the importance of following the ban to ensure safety. Despite recent rain, experts warn the risk remains high due to dry conditions. Daryl Jones, South Carolina’s forest protection chief, highlights that 60% of wildfires are human-caused and preventable. Residents like Jerry Gallagher stress the need for awareness, as he recalls the danger of being evacuated in the middle of the night.

Even though it’s been almost three weeks since the Covington Drive fire started, it’s not out just yet.
With the most recent statewide burn ban that went into affect on Friday, people in Walkers Woods, a Carolina Forest community, said it’s important to follow the rules now more than ever.
“It’s really important to have the burn ban,” a Walkers Woods resident said. “It makes us as the community rethink what we need to do for our homes and be safe and maybe what we put around our house.”
