Significant Wildfires Rage in South Carolina as Table Rock Fire Expands
The Table Rock Fire, now the largest wildfire in South Carolina history, has officially crossed into Transylvania County, affecting over 13,000 acres. While firefighters are making progress, containment remains a challenge, with current statistics showing only 9% containment. The situation prompted mandatory evacuations for residents in Greenville and Pickens Counties, with over 750 structures currently under evacuation orders. State officials reported no injuries or damage to homes so far, thanks to robust fireline maintenance. As strong winds continue to fuel the flames, Governor McMaster visits the area to assess the ongoing response efforts. Community support for first responders is increasing, with volunteers sending supplies to assist in firefighting efforts.
