Wildfires in Georgia and Florida Destroy Homes and Prompt Evacuations
Wildfires across southeastern U.S. states, particularly Georgia and Florida, have intensified, destroying nearly 50 homes in Georgia and forcing evacuations. The fires are fueled by a prolonged drought, low humidity, and strong winds. In Georgia, the Brantley County fire has expanded significantly, threatening more homes and leading to over 800 evacuations. The Georgia Forestry Commission has issued a mandatory burn ban for 91 counties. In Florida, 131 wildfires are burning across 34 square miles, mostly in the northern part of the state. The fires have affected air quality in major cities like Atlanta, Savannah, and Jacksonville.
