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.
