EVACUATION UPDATES

TABLE ROCK/PERSIMMON RIDGE WILDFIRE COMPLEX 

Emergency Management and fire crews continue to address the Table Rock Complex Fire, with ongoing efforts from the South Carolina Forestry Commission, the Southern Area Blue Team, and partner agencies. 

Thanks to recent rainfall and the progress made by fire crews, changes have been made to evacuation orders and roadway access.

Updated Evacuation Orders:

Mandatory evacuations in Greenville County have been downgraded to voluntary evacuations.

Voluntary evacuations in both Pickens and Greenville Counties have been lifted.

However, due to the ongoing threat and unpredictable nature of the fire, please remain vigilant if you return to your home and stay aware of any changes in the fire’s conditions. We encourage you to watch the news and follow Greenville Emergency Management and Pickens Emergency Management for up-to-date information regarding all affected areas.
