Large wildfires are burning through the mountains of both North and South Carolina, just months after Hurricane Helene brought heavy rains and flooding to the region.
In North Carolina, at least eight fires were burning in the mountains as of Thursday. The fires have burned roughly 10 square miles combined, and the two largest — the Black Cove Fire and the Deep Woods Fire — were 17% and 30% contained, respectively, as of Thursday evening.
