A mandatory evacuation has been announced in a North Carolina county as three active fires continue to ravage the state, prompting the state’s public safety department to take action. The fires, spanning between 1,100-1,240 acres, are causing concern for residents and authorities are urging people to evacuate to shelters built in Columbus. The state of emergency in South Carolina, declared by Governor Henry McMaster, is in response to the growing blaze in the Blue Ridge Mountains that has already spread to about 110 acres. Fire officials have called for voluntary evacuations in the area near Table Rock Mountain, where the fire is primarily located. The South Carolina Forestry Commission has stated that the state of emergency will allow for mobilization of resources to better combat the fire and protect lives and property. Evacuations are being done on a voluntary basis, with residents being warned of road closures and low visibility due to smoke and debris. Firefighters are working tirelessly to contain the fires and ensure the safety of residents in both North and South Carolina.
