Three teenagers arrested for allegedly starting South Carolina’s Table Rock Fire

The cause of one of South Carolina’s recent wildfires has been determined.

State forestry officials have arrested three teenagers on charges related to starting the 13,000-acre Table Rock Fire. Arrest warrants state that the three were smoking cigarettes on a hiking trail in a state park.

Crews have brought that fire under significant control. It is now 68% contained.

South Carolina’s Persimmon Ridge Fire is 74% contained. The state has lifted all evacuation orders and burn bans.
