A series of wildfires are wreaking havoc across North and South Carolina, burning nearly 15,000 acres and prompting mandatory evacuations in over 30 counties. The situation worsened as fire crews struggled to contain the blazes fueled by dry and windy conditions. Despite no reported fatalities, the Governor confirmed that at least 11 homes have been destroyed, with fire risks continuing to escalate. Among the hardest hit areas are Western North Carolina and Upstate South Carolina, where states of emergency have been declared. Residents recently displaced by Hurricane Helene are particularly affected, as some have lost properties newly deemed inaccessible. Emergency services are working tirelessly to manage the ongoing threat, while local resources are stretched thin. The need for assistance grows as communities rally to support those impacted by the wildfires.
