A series of wildfires have ignited across South and North Carolina, with over 175 fires reported, leading to mass evacuations and a state of emergency declaration by Governor McMaster. The Myrtle Beach area has been particularly hard-hit, with a massive wildfire doubling in size overnight, prompting further evacuations. As firefighters battle to contain these blazes amid dry conditions and strong winds, a statewide burn ban has been issued, warning residents against outdoor burning. While some areas have begun to lift evacuation orders, the threat to homes and communities remains high.
