**Start Date/Location** The Persimmon Ridge Fire, part of the Table Rock Complex, started on or around March 21, 2025, in Caesars Head State Park, South Carolina[2][3][5]. **Size and Containment** As of the latest updates, the Persimmon Ridge Fire has burned approximately 2,078 acres and is now 64% to 74% contained[2][3]. **Growth and Rate of Spread** Initially, the fire was part of a rapidly expanding complex, but recent weather conditions, including increased humidity and rainfall, have significantly slowed its growth. The fire had surpassed 2,000 acres by Sunday, March 31, but containment efforts have been successful in reducing its spread[1][2][5]. **Containment Efforts** Fire crews have made substantial progress in containing the fire, aided by recent rainfall and improved weather conditions. The unified command, including the South Carolina Forestry Commission and other cooperators, has been working tirelessly to suppress the blaze[1][2][3].
