A state of emergency has been declared in the US state of Carolina due to large-scale forest fires. Evacuations are underway. This was reported by CBS News.

The situation in North Carolina

According to Jeremy Waldrop, a state fire service official, the fire in Polk County has covered an area of ​​​​400 to 500 acres. Due to the rapid spread of the fires, residents of Tryon and Saluda are being evacuated.

According to information, Tryon has a population of about 1,500, and Saluda has a population of 1,000. The cities are located about 40 miles south of Asheville County.

The situation in South Carolina

The situation in this state is also somewhat complicated. The Horry County Fire Department reported that the wildfire has burned at least 1,600 hectares. Governor Henry McMurray declared a state of emergency and ordered the evacuation of residents.

"We are being evacuated from our neighborhood because the winds are strong and the movement is strong," said Jason Jaws, a local resident.

On the morning of March 2, two planes, a Blackhawk helicopter and even tractors were involved in extinguishing the fire. Later that afternoon, the situation was announced to have improved as a result of the efforts. The US fire service reported that all evacuated residents had been able to return to their homes.

The terrible fire in Los Angeles

In January 2025, a large-scale fire broke out in the western part of California, especially in the suburbs of Los Angeles. The fires in the city spread rapidly due to strong winds blowing from the Pacific Ocean, and the fire spread to the Pacific Palisades, Eaton, Hearst, Sunset and Woodley areas, destroying thousands of hectares of land.

As a result, 27 citizens died, 16 people were missing, and approximately 150,000 residents were evacuated. Follow “Zamin” news on “Telegram”
