Burn Ban Issued For Chattooga County Amid Extreme Drought Conditions

Local News, Local News Items #BurnBan, #chattoogacounty, #DroughtConditions, #EmergencyOrder, #FireDanger, #georgiaweather, #LocalNews, #northwestgeorgia, #PublicSafety, #summervillega, #WildfireRisk, #wzqznews 0

A countywide burn ban is now in effect for Chattooga County as officials respond to worsening drought conditions and an increased risk of wildfires across the region.

According to an executive order signed by Sole Commissioner Andy Allen, the burn ban took effect at 12:00 p.m. on Thursday, April 23, 2026, and applies to all outdoor burning.

The order comes as drought conditions across Georgia have intensified, with officials reporting extremely dry weather, low humidity, and gusty winds contributing to dangerous fire conditions. State officials have already responded to more than 90 wildfires, and nearly all of Chattooga County is now experiencing moderate to severe drought conditions.

The ban prohibits burning of yard debris, natural vegetation, campfires, and any combustible materials outdoors.

Officials say the action is necessary to protect both life and property as wildfire risks remain high.

The temporary burn ban will remain in place through May 1, 2026, when the state’s annual outdoor burning restrictions are set to begin.

Residents are urged to comply with the ban and avoid any outdoor burning until conditions improve.
