⚠️ 🔥 ATTENTION 🔥 ⚠️
Ware County Fire Rescue is still responding to backyard burn piles, please help to educate family, friends and neighbors that NO burn permits are being issued at this point in time, until we receive considerable rainfall!

Red Flag Warning is in effect Today for inland Northeast Florida and inland Southeast Georgia from 8AM to 8PM. Minimum relative humidity values of 15 to 25 percent & northeast winds 15-20 miles per hour gusting to 25-30 miles per hour will create dangerous fire weather conditions.

Avoiding Activities with open flames or Sparks. 🚫🔥

Georgia’s drought continues to worsen — and nearly every corner of the state is feeling the impact.

📍 98.1% of Georgia’s land area is now in moderate to exceptional drought
📍 69.1% of Georgia’s land area is in extreme to exceptional drought
📍 9.6 million Georgians live in drought-affected areas
📍 This was Georgia’s 8th driest first quarter (Jan.–March) on record dating back to 1895

Dry grass, leaf litter, woods and fields can ignite quickly under these conditions, allowing wildfires to spread faster and burn more aggressively.

We all have a role to play in preventing the next wildfire:
✔️ Avoid parking vehicles in dry grass
✔️ Use outdoor equipment carefully
✔️ Never leave grills, fire pits or debris burns unattended
✔️ Obey local burn restrictions and permit guidance
✔️ Report smoke or wildfire concerns quickly

One less spark can mean one less wildfire.

Fighting fire. Protecting forests. Serving Georgia.
