SUMMARY: A wildfire at Table Rock State Park in South Carolina has prompted voluntary evacuations as smoke fills the air. Deputies discovered the fire while searching for a missing hiker, and it trapped both hikers and deputies temporarily, but no injuries occurred. The fire, caused by negligence from four teenage hikers, has burned 10 acres and is currently contained to the top of the mountain. All park trails are closed. A burn ban is now in effect across South Carolina. In nearby North Carolina, several wildfires are burning, including the Deep Woods fire, which has destroyed structures and remains uncontained.
