POLK COUNTY, N.C. – Three wildfires in western North Carolina are proving challenging for firefighters to beat because of rough terrain and debris left behind by Hurricane Helene.
The Black Cove, Deep Woods and Fish Hook fires continue burning in Polk County, an area devastated by Helene almost six months ago.
The Black Cove Fire, which began last Wednesday, has burned 2,076 acres and had no containment as of Sunday afternoon. Fire officials said it was started by a downed power line.
Meanwhile, the Deep Woods Fire is the largest at 1,802 acres and also remains 0% contained.
Officials said evacuation orders are in place for several areas surrounding the Black Cove and Deep Woods fires.
