Wildfires rage in Southeast

A historic drought has created tinderbox conditions in the Southeast, leading to a dangerous outbreak of wildfires that have already scorched over 35,000 acres.

In Georgia, fast-moving flames have engulfed several homes, prompting emergency officials to issue 'stay indoors' warnings due to toxic smoke.

Firefighters are working around the clock to contain the blazes, but shifting winds and low humidity continue to hamper their efforts.

The crisis has drawn national attention, with the Trump administration directing federal resources to assist in the recovery and suppression efforts.
