Georgia Wildfires Destroy Dozens of Homes

Georgia Wildfires Destroy Dozens of Homes

The fires have reduced entire neighborhoods to ashes, with the sky over Georgia turning a fiery orange as smoke threatens air quality across the region.

Governor Brian Kemp has deployed additional resources to assist local crews, while volunteers have gathered to provide free meals to displaced families.

Red flag warnings remain in place from Texas to the Dakotas as a new severe weather outbreak is expected to bring more dangerous conditions.

Officials warn that low humidity will keep the fire danger elevated for at least another 72 hours.
