Wildfires continue to spread in NC, SC leaving behind destruction: See map of Carolinas

Wildfires in the Carolinas have taken over thousands of acres, and one of the most destructive fires doubled in size in the 24 hours.

In the Carolinas, wildfires have set 17,646.37 acres ablaze, according to the South Carolina Forestry Commission and the North Carolina Forest Service.

While firefighters in North Carolina were able to start containing the two largest wildfires in the state, the Black Cove Fire and the Deep Woods Fire, the size of the Table Rock Fire in South Carolina nearly doubled and remains at 0% contained.

On Wednesday, the Table Rock Fire and the Persimmon Ridge Fire were responsible for yet another round of evacuations, according to the South Carolina Forestry Commission.

"Another day of extreme fire behavior on both incidents today prompted a new round of evacuations and led to a second straight day of rapid expansion of both wildfires," states a press release from the commission.

Extremely low humidity and gusty winds "contributed greatly to the fires’ growth," according to the commission. But winds are expected to ease on Thursday while humidity levels go up from 14% to 22%.

"An abundance" of dry, downed timber from Hurricane Helene has also fueled the fire.

Dry conditions are expected to continue through Thursday.
