The perfect recipe for a Carolina wildfire? A pinch of spring pollen mixed with smoke-covered skies and steep Carolina ridges—welcome to the Table Rock Complex Fire.

There should be spring turkeys gobbling on the ridges and the sounds of hikers on the Palmetto Trail—this week, it’s been the rumble of chainsaws, helicopters, and the crackle of over 15,000 acres of fuel-covered terrain lighting off. 

As we made our way down the line, we ran across familiar faces and some new ones, but all had a unified mission: to do their part in holding their section of the line.

It’s a testament to grit—sweat equity poured into the mountain, day and night, with no clear end in sight. Some crews were on the line while others were staging at structures. 

There are firefighters on the line from multiple states, with the lion’s share of crews from right here in the Palmetto State.

As one crew made its way down the ridge through the smoke and sun rays, I caught sight of one of the fellas passed out on the tailboard seat of an old open-cab rig.

Just a few minutes of sleep as the truck rattled down the ridge after a night on the line. That feeling of first light after a long night.

As we crossed paths with more crews, some guys were fired up about the progress on the line. A few were already dreaming about Waffle House and a cold beverage waiting for them when they rotate back home in a of couple days. Some were just taking in the sights and sounds of their first wildfire experience and itching to get on another line when they’re needed. All were doing their part. 

These are a handful of the hardworking crews and fellas on the Table Rock Complex Fire in South Carolina
