The National Weather Service (NWS) early Friday issued a Red Flag Warning, cautioning against outdoor burning because of the dry, windy conditions which have plagued north Georgia for several days. (See link below.)
State laws require individuals to obtain a burn permit before doing any
outdoor burning. If conditions are deemed safe, permits can be obtained at the Georgia Forestry Commission's website, www.gatrees.org, or by calling 1-877-OK2-BURN. Also, anyone starting a campfire or other warming fire should make sure that it is cool to the touch before leaving it unattended.
