Written by Georgia’s statewide burn ban is over, but the fight against two massive wildfires in South Georgia is not. Gov. Brian Kemp signed an executive order Tuesday lifting the temporary burn ban that had been in place across Georgia counties as part of the state’s wildfire emergency declaration, citing improving weather conditions and decreased fire risk statewide. The burn ban was put in place on April 22, when Kemp declared a state of emergency across 91 counties in South Georgia at high risk for wildfires. The emergency declaration was later scaled back on May 5 to 17 counties in the southern part of the state. Tuesday’s order lifts the burn ban in all remaining counties, though the state of emergency itself remains in effect. Kemp’s order noted that weather conditions have continued to improve and that the emergency response has shifted toward recovery and rebuilding.
