Hurricane Helene aftermath causes wildfire threat
Hurricane Helene cleanup efforts in East Tennessee are up against a tight deadline as crews work to finish the project by June. The vacation town of Chimney Rock, North Carolina, also remains severely damaged after Hurricane Helene left a line of destruction across the southeast back in September.

LiveNOW?s Andrew Craft is speaking with Fox multimedia reporter Asher Redd about the potential for increased wildfires following Hurricane Helene.
