Evacuations were underway Sunday across North and South Carolina as wildfires spread quickly amid high winds impacting much of the Eastern Seaboard.

In South Carolina, a brush fire was rapidly expanding in Carolina Forest, a community near Myrtle Beach, triggering rounds of evacuations. The wildfire scorched 1,200 acres of land in under 24 hours, according to the South Carolina Forestry Commission. No injuries have been reported and no structures have been destroyed, officials said.

Horry County Fire Rescue said evacuations impacted over a half dozen neighborhoods and added that, based on current fire and weather conditions, the orders will remain in place for the time being.

“All residents of Carolina Forest should continue to monitor the forecast, register to receive Code Red emergency alerts, and be prepared with a ‘go-bag’ and emergency plan if an evacuation is called in their neighborhood,” the department said in a statement.

North Carolina wildfire threatens 2 communities

In North Carolina, a wildfire burning in the Blue Ridge mountains was threatening the communities of Saluda and Tryon, which are located near the South Carolina border.

The so-called Melrose Fire burned 400 to 500 acres of land as of Sunday morning and remained uncontained, according to the state’s forest service. Polk County Emergency Management said no additional evacuations were issued Sunday but warned there “will be a lot of fire activity today.”

The fire department in Saluda said in a statement on Facebook that the fire appeared to have been started “by a downed power line.”

Another wildfire had erupted Saturday in South Carolina and triggered evacuation warnings in the community of Six Mile. Hours later, officials canceled the warnings and said they managed to contain the blaze.
