Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin has declared a state of emergency as firefighters respond to two wildfires amid dry conditions and high winds. The governor's office says Tuesday's declaration allows Virginia to mobilize additional resources, staff and equipment to help with the response. The operation involves the Virginia National Guard, the Department of Forestry, the Department of Emergency Management and other agencies. The Quaker Run Fire in Madison County and the Tuggles Gap fire in Patrick County broke containment lines over the weekend and officials say additional resources are required to contain these fires and respond to any additional fires.
