Massive wildfires continue to wreak havoc in the United States and Japan, prompting large-scale evacuations and emergency measures. In the U.S., wildfires have spread across North Carolina and South Carolina, forcing thousands to evacuate. Firefighters are actively working to contain the blaze, which has already scorched approximately 4.9 square kilometers of forest land, according to the South Carolina Forestry Commission. However, there are no official reports yet on casualties or injuries. South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster has declared a state of emergency, confirming that fires have spread across 175 locations.
