Just to clarify Wayne County is still in the burn ban as you see listed in orange on the map.

🔥 Update: South Georgia Burn Restrictions Eased

Governor Kemp has issued an executive order easing outdoor burning restrictions in parts of South Georgia.

While this is a step in the right direction, burning is still restricted in 17 South Georgia counties, as shown on the map below. These areas continue to face extreme drought and elevated wildfire risk.

⚠️ What to know:
➡️ Some counties are now allowed to resume limited outdoor burning
➡️ Others remain under restrictions due to ongoing fire danger
➡️ Conditions can change quickly—always check before you burn

Even where restrictions have been eased, extreme caution is still critical. Dry conditions remain across much of the state, and it only takes one spark to start a wildfire.

Fighting fire. Protecting forests. Serving Georgia.

*Traffic Update – Highway 110 West Open*

Highway 110 West is now open to through traffic.

Due to active hotspots near the sawmill (Elm Circle), traffic will be reduced to one lane periodically between 8:00 AM and 8:00 PM, up to three times a day, as fire crews continue working in that area.

Please use extreme caution when traveling this route. Slow down, stay alert, and follow all traffic control directions to help keep both drivers and fire personnel safe.
