Wildfires Explode Across Southeast US

Georgia Governor Brian Kemp has declared a state of emergency for 91 counties as flames reduce entire neighborhoods to ash.

In Southeast Georgia alone, the blaze has consumed more than 5,000 acres, prompting school closures and the deployment of massive firefighting resources.

Volunteers have gathered to provide free meals to displaced families as the sky remains a thick, fiery orange.

Forecasters warn that low humidity will keep the fire risk elevated through the weekend, threatening further structural damage.
