🚫 🔥 BURN BAN IN EFFECT 🔥🚫

The South Carolina Forestry Commission has issued a statewide burn ban that will go into effect tomorrow morning.

This means ALL outdoor burning is prohibited, including yard debris, trash, and any non-essential open burning.

Due to current dry conditions, the risk of wildfire is extremely high. Even small fires can quickly get out of control and put lives, property, and our firefighters at risk.

We strongly urge everyone to comply with this ban and help keep our community safe.

If you see smoke or fire, please report it immediately by calling 911.

Thank you for your cooperation and support.

As we move into warmer weather and lawn care season, the Piercetown Fire Department would like to remind everyone about the importance of lawnmower safety.

Refueling a lawnmower while the engine is still hot can be extremely dangerous and may lead to fires. Always allow your mower to cool down before adding fuel, and refuel in a well-ventilated area away from any ignition sources.

With the current dry conditions, lawnmowers can also easily spark and ignite dry grass, leading to fast-moving grass fires. Please be mindful of your surroundings, avoid mowing during the hottest and driest parts of the day, and keep a water source or fire extinguisher nearby.

A few simple precautions can help prevent a dangerous situation. Stay safe and help us protect our community.

🚨 Smoke Alarms Save Lives 🚨

The Piercetown Fire Department wants to remind everyone in our community just how important working smoke alarms are in your home.

A properly working smoke alarm can cut your risk of dying in a house fire in half. These small devices provide early warning, giving you and your family those critical extra seconds to get out safely.

✅ Test your smoke alarms at least once a month
✅ Change batteries at least twice a year
✅ Replace smoke alarms every 10 years
✅ Make sure you have alarms in every bedroom, outside sleeping areas, and on every level of your home

Don’t wait until it’s too late—take a few minutes today to check your alarms and protect what matters most.

If you need assistance checking or installing smoke alarms, don’t hesitate to reach out to Anderson County Fire Department Headquarters and Piercetown Fire Department at 864-260-4016. We’re here to help keep our community safe.

🔥 Working smoke alarms save lives—make sure yours are ready. 🔥
