Horry County Fires - Horry County fires that began early Wednesday are spreading across more than 3000 acres in the popular Myrtle Beach area in South Carolina.
Horry County fires jumped a highway and destroyed about 40 homes and forced hundreds to evacuate to shelters.
The blazing Myrtle Beach fires burned the Cane Patch, a 3 hole golf course on Wednesday night and the popular ‘restaurant row’ was engulfed in thick smoke on Wednesday night.
The cause of the blaze was not yet determined but an Horry County Fire Rescue spokesman said that the fire started around noon on Wednesday in some woods about six miles east of Conway.
Worsening the the situation, the fire spread to Carolina Bays, geographic structures of organic material that fuel the blaze and burn for a very long time.
Firefighters hope that the Intracoastal Waterway, or ICW, will act as a natural barrier to keep the Horry County fires from spreading to the more densely populated areas of Myrtle Beach.
That’s the latest news about the Horry County Fires.
