Wildfires spread across Northeast, South, reaching 6,000 acres

Several regions in the eastern United States are currently facing heightened wildfire risks due to dry and windy conditions. In south-central Pennsylvania, the National Weather Service has issued a warning for areas including Adams, Lebanon, and York counties, with humidity levels dropping to 20-30% and wind gusts reaching up to 35 mph. Meanwhile, wildfires in North and South Carolina have spread across over 6,000 acres, prompting evacuations in certain areas, particularly near Asheville in North Carolina. In New Jersey, the California Branch Wildfire in Wharton State Forest has expanded to 1,750 acres, leading to the evacuation of two campgrounds as containment efforts continue. Officials are concerned about the combination of drought conditions and high winds, which are exacerbating the situation across these states. Authorities are urging residents to remain cautious and to report any fire hazards promptly.
