🔥 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.

Kimmel’s hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country. His monologue about my family isn’t comedy- his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America.
People like Kimmel shouldn’t have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate.
A coward, Kimmel hides behind ABC because he knows the network will keep running cover to protect him.
Enough is enough. It is time for ABC to take a stand. How many times will ABC’s leadership enable Kimmel’s atrocious behavior at the expense of our community.
DO NOT call 911 to report "smoke in the area" - only call if you see active fire and flames. The entire area is covered by drift smoke from the wildfires. We do not need to waste time and resources looking for smoke - 911 and crews need to be left to attend to true emergencies.
4/22/26: The Georgia Forestry Commission has issued a 🚫BURN BAN🚫 thru May 22, 2026 due to drought conditions and the extensive wildfires plaguing South Georgia. This 91-county declaration includes EFFINGHAM COUNTY.
