The largest fires in Western North Carolina were the Deep Woods and Black Cove fires in Polk County, not far from the S.C. border, that forced evacuations and were burning a combined 6,000 acres with 0% containment as of Tuesday evening.

In the Carolinas, wildfires have set 11,314 acres ablaze, and two of the biggest fires in North Carolina are responsible for at least half of that. Both South Carolina and North Carolina have issued burn bans to help mitigate future flames, according to media advisories.
