Georgia wildfires come as much of America is ready to burn

Georgia's wildfires, fueled by drought, high winds, and Hurricane Helene debris, have destroyed over 120 homes and reflect a broader trend of severe fire seasons across the U.S. National data shows 1.8 million acres burned as of April 24, double the 10-year average, with experts citing fuel buildup, urban expansion in fire-prone areas, and climate change as key drivers.
