Two wildfires that started close to each other in the South Carolina mountains and burned an area over half the size of Hilton Head Island are nearly contained.

Four people were arrested Tuesday on suspicion of starting the largest mountain wildfire in South Carolina history, officials said.

A wildfire that has burned over 13,000 acres in South Carolina and North Carolina was ignited by three teenagers who failed to properly extinguish their cigarettes while hiking in Table Rock State Park.

Several key conservatives on the Supreme Court left open the possibility on Wednesday that they could side with Planned Parenthood in a dispute with South Carolina over its decision to yank that organization’s Medicaid funding because it provides abortions.

The justices are due to hear arguments in South Carolina's appeal of a lower court's decision barring the Republican-governed state from terminating Medicaid funding to Planned Parenthood South Atlantic,

The court will decide whether Medicaid beneficiaries may sue to receive services under a law that lets them choose any qualified provider.
