Wildfires Wage On

As wildfires continue in the Southeast, health officials are worried about nearby air quality.

Wildfires continue to burn across  seven southern states, ad their effects are being felt as far away as Atlanta and Charlotte. The flames have yet to reach any populated areas, the surrounding smoke is raising air quality alerts throughout the region. Health officials are now warning residents about dangerous breathing conditions, and some hospitals are seeing a rise in patients for respiratory issues. Firefighters are still working around the clock to contain the flames, which have burned over 128,00 acres so far.
