# Multiple wildfires in the Carolinas force evacuations, burn ban issued in South Carolina

A burning ban is in effect in South Carolina due to dangerous wildfire condition, with the governor warning that violators will go to jail.



The county said displaced residents may shelter at the Polk County Meeting Place in Columbus.

In South Carolina, Horry County Fire Rescue ordered the evacuation of residents from several neighborhoods in the Carolina Forest, located around 10 miles west of Myrtle Beach, as crews work to contain a wildfire.

"Crews are continuing to work a large wildfire near Carolina Forest," the fire rescue said on Facebook. "Horry County is monitoring the weather forecast and preparing to adjust course in our life safety and property protection plan should conditions evolve."
