Massive wildfires ravage Georgia, Florida

A series of destructive wildfires intensified on Wednesday, prompting Georgia Governor Brian Kemp to declare a state of emergency for 91 counties.

The Pineland Road Fire has exploded to over 29,000 acres, destroying at least 50 homes in rural communities.

In Florida, evacuations and school closures remain in effect as firefighters struggle against low humidity and shifting winds.

Public health officials have issued alerts as smoke from the blazes blankets cities hundreds of miles away, creating hazardous breathing conditions.
