🔥 Wildfire Update – Georgia (4/27)

Yesterday, the Georgia Forestry Commission responded to 10 new wildfires, burning 19.7 acres statewide.

This does not include:
• The Pineland Rd Fire, now estimated at 32,331 acres and 10% contained
• The Highway 82 Fire in Brantley County, now estimated at 20,933 acres and 6% contained

🌧️ A note on conditions:
We did receive some rain on the fires yesterday! While it was not nearly enough to put the fires out, it may help slow fire activity temporarily to give crews an opportunity to make good progress.

⚠️ Safety Reminders:
➡️ Stay clear of active fire areas—crews and equipment need space to operate safely
➡️ 🚁 Keep the airspace clear—no drones near wildfires
➡️ Be alert for smoke on roadways and changing visibility conditions
➡️ Pay close attention to local alerts, including road closures and evacuation notices

These fires remain active, and conditions can change quickly.

We appreciate the continued efforts of firefighters, first responders, and partners working across Georgia, and the cooperation of communities during this time.

Every call, every acre, and every response matters—and so does prevention.

Fighting fire. Protecting forests. Serving Georgia.

🔥 Wildfire Update – Georgia

Yesterday, the Georgia Forestry Commission responded to 15 new wildfires, burning 21.96 acres statewide.

This does not include:
• The Pineland Rd Fire, now estimated at 32,003 acres and 10% contained
• The Highway 82 Fire in Brantley County, now estimated at 20,933 acres and 7% contained

With ongoing drought conditions and no significant rainfall in sight, wildfire activity remains elevated across Georgia.

⚠️ Safety Reminders:
➡️ If you do not need to be in or near an active fire area, please stay out
➡️ 🚁 No drones — flying drones near wildfires is illegal and can ground firefighting aircraft
➡️ Use caution on roadways where smoke may be present
➡️ Follow all instructions from local officials, including road closures and any potential evacuations

We know these fires are impacting communities across Georgia, and we are thinking of those facing uncertainty and loss. Please continue to follow guidance from local officials—your safety is the top priority.

We’re grateful for the firefighters and first responders working tirelessly, and for the strong support from our local, state, and federal partners and communities.
