A wildfire was burning on Taylor’s Ridge on Tuesday night.  Chattooga County Sheriff Mark Schrader posted on social media saying smoke was heavy in the Spring Creek Road area in the northeastern part of the county.  The Georgia Forestry Commission was on hand trying to get the fire under control.  With no significant rainfall in the past eight weeks in the area, conditions remain extremely dry.  A burn ban is still in place in both Chattooga and Walker Counties.  “There’s been no measurable rain for over a month, and conditions are critically dry,” said Georgia Forestry Commission Director Tim Lowrimore. “Seasonal leaf fall, along with sustained gusty winds, are contributing to high fire risk conditions”.  Remember, do not burn outside for any reason.  Be extremely cautious using lawnmowers or other equipment that could ignite dry leaves.  Under no circumstances should you throw a cigarette out of the window of a vehicle.  The weather forecast is only showing slight chances of rain between now and Sunday.
