🚨 SCAM ALERT 🚨

The Brantley Sheriff’s Office wants to remind everyone that we will NEVER:

❌ Call you to take care of a warrant over the phone
❌ Call and ask for bond money
❌ Call and ask for money for any reason

Scammers are becoming more convincing and may even spoof phone numbers to make it appear they are calling from a law enforcement agency.

If you receive a suspicious call claiming to be from the Sheriff’s Office and demanding money, HANG UP immediately. Do not provide personal information, banking information, gift card numbers, or any form of payment.

📞 If you have questions or would like to verify information, contact the Brantley Sheriff’s Office directly at (912) 462-6141.

Please help us protect our community by sharing this post and warning your family and friends.

⚠️ THIS IS A SCAM! DO NOT FALL FOR IT! ⚠️

🔥 Why Are Firefighters Still Out There? This is why.

What you’re seeing in this photo is a reburn caused by needlecast—a common wildfire challenge in Georgia’s pine forests.

Needlecast happens when dry pine needles fall in thick layers across the forest floor. Those needles create highly flammable fuel that can hold heat, smolder unnoticed, and reignite long after the main fire front has passed.

That’s exactly why mop-up operations are so critical.

Even when containment numbers improve and flames are no longer making headlines, hidden heat can remain. A single hotspot in heavy needlecast can flare back up, cross containment lines, and put firefighters, nearby communities, and property at risk all over again.

This photo was taken a couple of days ago on the Highway 82 Fire—a reminder that these are still active incidents, and the work is not done.

Mop-up may not be the most visible part of wildfire response, but it is some of the most important work our crews do.

Fighting fire. Protecting forests. Serving Georgia.
