Quiet wildfire conditions across Georgia as seasonal burn ban lifts
Wildfire activity across Georgia remains quiet with no significant fires burning. The state's annual summer outdoor burn ban across 54 counties lifted on October 1.
Conditions and Outlook
No fire weather watches or Red Flag Warnings are in effect across Georgia. Fire potential remains minimal statewide over the next several days, aided by elevated humidity and incoming rain chances.
Burn Bans and Land Management
The Georgia Environmental Protection Division lifted its summer outdoor burn ban across 54 northern and central counties on October 1. The Georgia Forestry Commission also launched a new online burn permit portal for agricultural, land-clearing, and silvicultural operations.
What Residents Should Do
- Place burn piles at least 25 feet from woodlands and 50 feet from structures, keeping water tools on hand.
- Burn only natural yard debris between sunrise and sunset, and remain on site until fires are fully out.
- Check local municipal ordinances for additional burn restrictions before burning.
