A fire is listed here when it is located in South Carolina. Each complex is counted once, through its parent: the parent carries the complex's acres, and its member fires are listed beneath it without being counted again. A fire that crossed the border is listed with the acres that burned in South Carolina, not its whole reported size. A fire located elsewhere that burned into South Carolina is listed too, at its South Carolina acres, and is not added to the South Carolina fire counts.
