Wildfire in North Berkeley Forces Evacuations | Charleston News

A wildfire has erupted in North Berkeley’s swampy terrain, forcing evacuations on Cane Swamp Lane and the west side of Tiger Corner Road while the east side remains under “set” status—meaning residents must be ready to flee at a moment’s notice. Fire crews are battling heavy fuels and a blaze that’s already scorched 15 acres, using bulldozers to create fuel breaks and planning controlled burns to slow the spread. The fire began around 4 p.m. Saturday, a stark reminder that nature can strike even when conditions seem calm. Extra resources—including helicopters—are on scene, and officials are urging residents to stay away from the area and avoid drones, which can interfere with aerial operations. Dry conditions mean the fire could smolder underground, causing lingering smoke. The cause remains under investigation. If you’re nearby, heed the warnings and keep your distance.
