Wildfire Swells in Swampy Forest | Charleston News
Description
A major wildfire has erupted in Francis Marion National Forest, burning at least 800 acres through swampy, fuel-rich terrain—making containment a tough battle. Fire crews are deploying bulldozers to carve firebreaks and helicopters to drop water or scout the blaze. Smoke is so thick it’s triggered a dense smoke advisory, with visibility in parts of Berkeley County dropping to under a quarter mile. Evacuation warnings are in effect for nearby areas, and the U.S. Forest Service is coordinating with local agencies, even using a Cessna Skyhawk from Orangeburg to assist. Stay alert and heed emergency instructions if you’re in the area.
