Burn Ban In Place As Georgia Wildfires Raise Concerns

Local News, Local News Items #AndyAllen, #BurnBan, #chattoogacounty, #ChattoogaCountyCommissioner, #DroughtConditions, #FireWeather, #GeorgiaEPD, #GeorgiaForestryCommission, #georgianews, #GeorgiaWildfires, #LocalNews, #lyerlyga, #MenloGA, #northwestgeorgia, #OutdoorBurningBan, #PublicSafety, #SummerBurnBan, #summervillega, #trionga, #WildfireDanger, #wzqznews 0

As wildfires continue to burn in parts of Georgia, local officials in Chattooga County are taking steps to reduce fire danger closer to home.

Chattooga County Commissioner Andy Allen put a countywide burn ban in place last Thursday at noon. The ban includes all outdoor burning and will remain in effect until May 1, 2026, when the Georgia EPD’s annual summer burn ban takes effect.

The Georgia Environmental Protection Division’s summer open burning ban runs from May 1 through September 30 and includes Chattooga County. The EPD says the ban is aimed at reducing air pollution during the summer ozone season.

The local ban comes as Georgia officials respond to major wildfire activity, especially in South Georgia. Governor Brian Kemp declared a state of emergency for 91 counties this week due to ongoing wildfires and extreme drought conditions.

Fire officials are urging residents to avoid outdoor burning, properly dispose of cigarettes, and use caution with anything that could spark a fire.
