Keep South Georgia and their First Responders in your prayers 🙏
Yesterday, the Georgia Forestry Commission responded to 8 new wildfires, burning 54.64 acres statewide.
This does not include:
• The Pineland Rd Fire, now at 32,573 acres and 39% contained
• The Highway 82 Fire, now at 22,532 acres and 37% contained
(Acreage has been slightly reduced due to more accurate mapping.)
Containment continues to improve on both fires, but they remain active and require ongoing response efforts.
⚠️ Safety Reminders:
➡️ Keep a safe distance from active fire areas so crews can operate effectively
➡️ 🚁 Do not fly drones—aircraft must have clear airspace
➡️ Be mindful of smoke impacts, especially when traveling
➡️ Stay alert for updates from local officials, including any changes to access or safety conditions
Conditions remain dry, and wildfire risk is still elevated across much of the state.

We appreciate the continued efforts of firefighters, first responders, and partners across Georgia—and the cooperation of communities helping us stay safe.
Every call, every acre, and every response matters—and so does prevention.
Fighting fire. Protecting forests. Serving Georgia.
