Carolina's firefighters find themselves fighting for their own homes after battling New Jersey's inferno. Helene's fallen timber transformed yesterday's heroes into today's victims. Eastern states face a new reality.
Carolina firefighters battle raging wildfires while yesterday's heroes become today's victims.

Efforts to contain these blazes are significantly hampered by steep terrain and fallen timber from Hurricane Helene's destructive path through the region.
