Horry County authorities placed a ban on outdoor burning in unincorporated areas.

The ban was placed due to low humidity and dry, windy conditions.

It will remain in place until further notice.

The ban means all outdoor burning, including permitted burns, is not allowed.

It comes as the Covington Drive Wildfire reaches day 52 of burning.

The 2,059 acre fire has continued to smolder and produce smoke in the area. It remains 90% contained.
