US Wildfires

Wildfires have intensified intensifying across the U.S. Southeast. More than 50 homes have been destroyed in Georgia. The fires also have forced evacuations. Some of the biggest blazes are along Georgia’s coast and around Jacksonville, Florida. Drought and strong winds are fueling the fires. Georgia’s two largest wildfires have burned over 33 square miles. In Brantley County, more evacuations were ordered Wednesday on top of 800 evacuations that had taken place. So far, there have been no major injuries reported. In Florida, firefighters are battling more than 130 wildfires that have burned 39 square miles. The National Weather Service warns that low humidity and winds will keep the fire danger elevated.
