Hundreds of blazes broke out across the Atlantic Coast, just one month after the most destructive wildfires in U.S. history ravaged California.

The wildfires hit North Carolina and South Carolina, with the latter receiving the brunt of the blazes. Gov. Henry McMaster (R-SC) declared a state of emergency in South Carolina on Sunday after more than 175 wildfires across the state scorched 1,200 acres and affected another 3,000.
