Firefighters in North Carolina gain movement on containing two of the state's largest fires, while South Carolina's largest fire doubles in size

This story will be updated throughout the day as new information about Western North Carolina wildfires becomes available.

In the Carolinas, wildfires have set 11,314 acres ablaze, and two of the biggest fires in North Carolina are responsible for at least half of that. Both South Carolina and North Carolina have issued burn bans to help mitigate future flames, according to media advisories.

The N.C. Forest Service has an interactive map showing wildfires across the state, with the size of the area involved and how far along firefighters are in efforts to extinguish it. As of Monday afternoon, March 24, the map showed 112 fires across the state on more than 3,484 acres.

The largest fires in WNC were the Deep Woods and Black Cove fires in Polk County not far from Hendersonville, that forced evacuations in Polk and Henderson counties along with states of emergency. They were burning nearly 6,000 acres combined with 0% containment as of the evening of March 25.

A large wildfire in the South Carolina mountains has doubled in size on each of the last three days. But fire crews have been able to keep the blaze away from structures. Firefighters battling the Table Rock Mountain fire have concentrated on saving lives and property by digging fire breaks that push the blaze north through undeveloped land on the Pickens County ridges near the North Carolina state line,
