At least a half-dozen large wildfires continue to burn in the Blue Ridge Mountains of South Carolina and North Carolina
Wildfires in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North and South Carolina, fueled by dry conditions and debris from Hurricane Helene, have forced residents from their homes. At least six large fires are burning, covering over 20 square miles. Firefighting efforts are hampered by scarce water sources, requiring crews to build fire breaks. While no injuries have been reported, containing the fires is a slow process, and some fires from early March are still not fully contained.
