Horse Island Fire Update | Charleston News
Description
Horse Island wildfire in Berkeley County, South Carolina, now spans 550 acres and remains active—though evacuations for Cane Swamp Lane and Tiger Corner Road have been lifted, residents are urged to stay alert and ready to leave if ordered. Fire crews are battling the blaze with bulldozers and backburning to create fire lines and starve flames of fuel. Burning in dry, dense terrain, the fire may smolder underground, causing prolonged smoke that could harm respiratory health. Experts advise air filtration, masks outdoors, and caution on nearby roads. The fire, first spotted July 18, has no confirmed cause yet—with a media briefing scheduled for 6 PM at North Berkeley Fire Station 7.
