Myrtle Beach fires force residents to flee homes as blazes erupt along Eastern Seaboard

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. - Crews up and down the East Coast are furiously working to contain numerous wildfires that broke out over the weekend, with officials telling people to flee their homes for safety as flames approached neighborhoods.

Fires have been reported from the Delmarva Peninsula and New Jersey shore to the Carolinas and Georgia, and the risk of wildfires will continue through Sunday.

The FOX Forecast Center warned that the combination of low humidity, gusty winds and dry vegetation increased the danger of fires spreading out of control.
