South Carolina ? South Carolina firefighters continued Saturday to snuff out the hotspots of a wildfire smoldering near the coast for four days and officials said the blaze that once came perilously close to the state’s tourist mecca appeared to be mostly contained.

After scorching more than 30 square miles and demolishing scores of homes, the fire remained 85 percent under control through the day, said authorities who were heartened by a forecast of calming winds and high humidity — but still no rain — into today.
