Forest fires forced mandatory evacuation on Sunday in North Carolina, which is still recovering from Helen HurricaneThe governor of South Carolina announced an emergency in response to the growing wildfires in that state. Hundreds of miles north, the service of forest fire in New Jersey was fighting a fire in the Warton State forest.
The Ministry of Public Safety in North Carolina has announced a mandatory evacuation from 8:20 pm on Saturday for parts of Polik Province in the west of North Carolina, about 80 miles (129 km) west of Charlotte.
“The vision in the region will be reduced and road/evacuation roads can be banned, if you don’t leave now, you may be trapped, injured, or killing,” the agency said.
A shelter was created in Columbus, North Carolina.
There were three active fires in Polk Province, with one extension of 1.9 square miles (5 square kilometers) and another spread over an area of 2.8 square miles (7.3 square kilometers) with no containment on Sunday afternoon. Celki Cannon spokesman, Kelly Canon, said that one house was lost in front of the two larger fires.
A third fire burned about 199 acres (81 hectares) with 50 % containing three houses. Canon said that the previous evacuation order related to this fire had been raised.
The additional mandatory evacuation of the Bulk Province areas was requested on Sunday evening, according to the social media publication in North Carolina, Carolina.
The general scenes of the service at North Carolina online forests referred to active fires on Sunday in Burke Province and in Stokes Province on the northern border with Virginia.
At South Carolina, state governor Henry McMaster announced the state of emergency on Saturday as the emergency crew in the province of Pecins fought the Rock Fire table in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
“The state of emergency allows us to quickly mobilize resources and ensure firefighters get the support they need,” McMaster said in a statement.
The Forestry Committee for the position of social media said that local firefighters called for a voluntary evacuation on Saturday for some residents near Rock Mountain Mountain.
The committee said on Sunday that this fire, which a person caused, grew to more than 300 acres (121 hectares) without containment. Officials said local fires set fresh fire outside the original firefighting area, and the sharp terrain made it difficult for heavier equipment to use to contain fires to reach the area. Hurricane Helen’s timber dropped the situation. The voluntary evacuation remained for about 100 homes in force on Sunday afternoon.
The western region of North Carolina was already beaten by Hurricane Helen in September. The hurricane was damaged or affected by 5,000 miles (8,046 km) of the roads that were maintained in the country and the damage of 7,000 private roads, bridges and cycle in North Carolina.

Emergency officials said they evacuated two camps in the park. It was eighteen buildings near the fire, but the fire was moving away from them and no structures were evacuated.
