South Carolina Fire Crews make progress against the running fire that forced the evacuations | US forest fires

The crews on Sunday made progress with a forest fire in Carolina Forest in South Carolina, where the residents had been instructed, according to Horry County Fire Rescue, to evacuate several districts.

Video showed some people walking along the street when Rauch filled the sky. In the late Sunday afternoon, however, the fire brigade announced that the evacuated by Carolina Forest, which is located west of the Coastal Resort City of Myrtle Beach – could return home.

This running fire was one of several burns in South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia and Tennessee under dry conditions and gusty winds.

The region had exposed to an increased risk of fire because it was critical of dry according to the national weather service and there was very low relative humidity.

In South Carolina, more than 175 fires burned 6.6 m² (17 square meters). The governor of the state, Henry McMaster, declared a state of emergency on Sunday to support the forest fire strain, and a nationwide burning ban remained in force.

The South Carolina Forestry Commission estimated on Sunday evening that the fire in the Carolina Forest Area had burned 2.5 m² (6.5 m²), with 30% of them. No structures had succumbed to the fire by Sunday morning, and officials were not reported until Sunday morning.

In North Carolina, the US Forest Service said that firefighters curb several forest fires in four woods on Sunday. The largest, about 400 hectares (162 hectares), was about 80.47 km east of Charlotte in the Uwarrie National Forest. The forest service said on Sunday afternoon that it had made progress in fire and had reached about a third of the containment.

The small southwestern city of Tryon in Polk County, North Carolina, asked some residents to evacuate on Saturday because a fire spread quickly there. The evacuations remained in force on Sunday. A decision about whether it should raise it was expected to be made on Monday after deliberate burns are supposed to try to prevent the fire from spreading.

This fire burned about 202 hectares (202 hectares) with 0% containment until late Sunday, according to the office of emergency management marshal from Polk County. The North Carolina Forest Service carried out water waste on site, and the residents of the region should expect a lot of smoke during these operations, officials said.

Officials did not say what caused the fires.

At least six active fires in Georgia burned in Georgia on Sunday, and almost 3,700 acres of the past were burned last week, according to a summary of the State Forestry Commission.

And four small active forest fires that were burned in Tennessee on Sunday, said the state's agricultural department, although everyone was checked until early Monday. These blazes belonged to 81 forest fires, which had burned in the state around 822 acres last week, added the Department of Agriculture in Tennessee.
