The Fire Department responded to several brush fires last week that turned out to be controlled burns. Chief Thomas would like to remind everyone to obtain a burn permit from Georgia Forestry Commission before burning, and to make sure they have the surrounding area cleared and have a water hose and rake available.

Georgia Forestry Commission’s Burn Permit phone number is: 877-OK2BURN or 877-652-2876.
