Evacuations Ordered After Wildfires Erupt In The Carolinas

Officials ordered evacuations across various parts of North Carolina and South Carolina after multiple brushfires erupted on Saturday afternoon.

According to an update from the North Carolina Fire Service provided just before midnight on Saturday, a wildfire in Polk County was burning at least 400 acres and was at zero containment. An agency spokesperson stated that structures could be at risk and that evacuations were being ordered ahead of time.

In a Facebook post, state officials announced evacuations for residents along the U.S. Highway 176 between Tryon and Saluda, warning that the fire was spreading rapidly and was not at all contained. The statement added that fire crews from several counties were responding to the blaze.

Tryon has a population of about 1,500 people, while Saluda’s is under 1,000. Both towns are located roughly 40 miles south of Asheville, North Carolina.

Polk County suffered severe damage as a result of Hurricane Helene last year, which dropped record rainfall in portions of the American South, leading to mudslides and devastating loss of life. North Carolina communities are still working to rebuild after the storm left thousands of residents homeless, while major highways are being rebuilt entirely.

If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.

🚨 SOUTH CAROLINA EMERGENCY ALERT: Gov. McMaster declares state of emergency as wildfires torch 4,200+ acres—1,200 in Carolina Forest near Myrtle Beach. EVACUATE NOW if you’re in Indigo Bay, The Farm, Summerlyn, Walkers Woods, Avalon, Covington Lakes, Spring Lake, or Blackberry Lane. Statewide burn ban in effect—NO outdoor fires. 410 firefighters, 127 trucks, and air support are battling this beast, but smoke’s cutting visibility. Stay safe, spread the word! #SouthCarolinaWildfires #SCEmergency #WildfireSafety

Nobody is allowed to clear-burn their property anymore and brush builds up... same as California... I can't walk most my land because the underbrush is too gnarly. If you hack a trail through the underbrush the deer use it to get to people's front lawns at night to graze the grass.

Plus envirnazis go around setting fires tying to get the MSM to gripe about Climate Change.

How stupid is it to not allow controlled burns?  We do it all the time here in N. FL.

A woman accused of igniting a more than 2,000 acre wildfire last week in South Carolina, threatening the lives and homes of hundreds, has been arrested and charged, officials said on Friday.
