Source ↗ 👁 0 💬 0
Firefighters are battling two destructive blazes in the southern part of the state as drought grips the U.S. Southeast. An extreme drought that has gripped the Southeast for months helped fuel two large, destructive, human-caused wildland fires in southern Georgia in April 2026. The Pineland Road and Highway 82 fires together burned more than 50,000 acres (20,000 hectares) as of April 28, according to the Georgia Forestry Commission.
