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.

started by a crazed commie global warmer no doubt
We have a major commie problem in this country folks. And it needs dealt with.
Set by Antifa I am sure.
Their agenda is to take down the entire country.
The only solution is local.
That was what I thought
How is the rebuilding going in California? How are the individuals whose homes burnt down? Not much reporting on that tragedy and now this happens.
The South Carolina Forestry Commission issued a statewide burn ban for all counties after more than 100 ignitions were reported as of Saturday night. A red flag warning, which indicate when critical fire weather conditions are either occurring or imminent, was in effect for western North Carolina and upstate South Carolina as of Saturday night.A citation of "more than 100 ignitions" absent any mention of weather suggests one or more dumbasses set alight a burn pile and spread embers across a wide area (there was NO LIGHTNING; see below).

That’s weird cause my understanding is that they’ve had a lot of precipitation lately.
And there’s a bunch forecast for early this week.
We should pray for rain for them.
“How is the rebuilding going in California? How are the individuals whose homes burnt down? Not much reporting on that tragedy and now this happens.”
Here in Southern Oregon after the Almeda fire of 2020, there’s only a few homes rebuilt.... The only ones getting help are aliens and lifetime welfare people.
I will never be able to get back home.
Gee, what (who) kindled them?
WOW and sad. Thanks for reporting, AuntB.
This time of year? The ground is a sodden mess.
How many arsonists are there.
More arson?
Winter is still on going. There was ground snow recently. How much is burnable. I think we will see a lot of ground fires this year.
The fires are spreading.
