Massive wildfires ravage the Southeast

Massive wildfires ravage the Southeast

A combination of low humidity and high-velocity winds has created a path of destruction across the Southeastern United States.

The Pineland Road Fire has exploded to over 29,000 acres, forcing hundreds of residents to flee their homes in minutes.

Air quality warnings have been issued for cities hundreds of miles away as smoke blankets the region.

Firefighters are struggling to contain the blazes, and officials warn that the risk remains extreme until significant rainfall arrives.
