S. Georgia Fires

Post by FishWithChris »

Lots of smoke here in Tallahassee today. Found out its from about 7000acres of wildfires and allegedly destroyed 10 homes.

All you "northerner" folks alright up there? Any word on its pace of movement?

No injuries.

About 10 to 12 homes were at risk yesterday. Firefighters were able to save the homes and they’re no longer in danger.

Officials say 5,000 acres have burned so far.

Officials say this fire is related to the Arabia Bay wildfire that started last November. They now say that fire was never fully extinguished and that it reignited yesterday (Thursday).

Hwy 441 is closed from Homerville to Atkinson County.

Hwy 122 is closed from Cogdale to hwy 64.
Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn. ~Chuck Clark
