Wildfires Raging Across the Southeast

Firefighters are working around the clock to contain the blazes, which have scorched over 35,000 acres in the last 24 hours alone.

The situation is being exacerbated by millions of tons of downed trees left behind by Hurricane Helene, providing ample fuel for the infernos.

In Brantley County, Georgia, residents have reported losing their entire properties as embers fly in all directions.

Emergency crews are going door-to-door in hard-hit neighborhoods to ensure residents have reached safety as the drought conditions are expected to persist.
