The blazes were fueled by gusty winds, dry air and unusually high temperatures. The largest fire was burning 1,600 acres near Myrtle Beach.

As of Sunday evening, the 1600-acre fire in Carolina Forest is 30% contained, according to the South Carolina Forestry Commission.

Firefighters across North and South Carolina continue to work to contain more than 170 wildfires that have ignited and spread throughout the states over the weekend.
