Multiple Wildfires Prompt Mass Evacuations Across the Carolinas
Evacuations have been ordered across South and North Carolina as numerous wildfires continue to erupt, fueled by ongoing dry conditions and strong winds. A significant wildfire in Carolina Forest has grown to 1,200 acres, leading to the evacuation of over 50 residents from multiple neighborhoods. South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster has declared a state of emergency, citing the dangerous wildfire conditions and the necessity to support firefighting efforts. A statewide burning ban is now in effect, and fire crews are working diligently to contain the blazes that threaten homes and communities, particularly in the Myrtle Beach area, where road closures have also been enforced. As the situation evolves, authorities are urging residents to remain alert and adhere to evacuation orders.
