Commission has issued a statewide
warning against outside burning due

Alan Dozier, GFC Chief of Forest

notice.”
GFC statistics show careless
debris burning remains the number
one cause of the state’s wildfires.
Long range forecasts predict contin
ued hot, dry weather with no relief in
sight for the increasing fire threat.
Dozier said Georgia’s current
drought index is 495 (with “0” being
wettest and “800” being completely
