Burn ban still in effect for all unincorporated Horry County

Feb 15, 2015
By WBTW News Staff
 
HORRY COUNTY, S.C. (WBTW) - A burn ban continues for all unincorporated Horry County, until at least Monday when Horry County Fire Rescue officials said they will re-evaluate the threat. County officials issued the ban Thursday morning.

 “Everything was on fire so I just wanted to get all my valuables out of the house,” said Kiana DeLong, an Horry County resident.

Almost two years ago, Delong feared the worst. She was at work when she found out the Windsor Green apartment complex where she lived was on fire.

“I was pretty scared,” said DeLong.

She didn't lose her home but the fire destroyed 26 buildings and more than 100 individual apartments.

Horry County Fire Rescue established burn bans after the March 2013 Windsor Green fire.
