South Carolina officials are accusing three young men of starting the Table Rock Fire near Pickens after failing to "extinguish their cigarettes in a proper and safe manner."
"According to the arrest warrant affidavits, the suspects took part in smoking activities on a hiking trail at the [Table Rock] state park and did not extinguish their cigarettes in a proper and safe manner, which officials allege led to the ignition of the Table Rock Fire," the South Carolina Forestry Commission said in a statement. Greg Norman is a reporter at Fox News Digital.
The agency said "Pickens County sheriff’s deputies, state park personnel and other first responders discovered a rapidly growing wildfire" at Table Rock State Park on March 21 while searching for a missing hiker in the area.
