Attention Colquitt County Citizens:

As of today, we are requesting that all citizens CEASE burning any wood piles, yard debris, or any other types of outdoor burning activity (including prescribed fire) until we get some rain and moisture on the ground.

Colquitt County is currently under D4 – Exception Drought conditions, which is the highest level possible.

The dry conditions, along with persistent wind over the last several weeks, have resulted in multiple fires getting out of control, both locally and around the state. Our local Fire Departments and local Georgia Forestry Commission units do not have the capacity to respond to the number of calls being received. This could become an issue for the public’s safety.

Please note that if a citizen is conducting a burn, and the Fire Department is dispatched, they will extinguish the fire regardless of what is being burned or its location.

Thank you for your assistance and please help us spread the word. In the meantime, please pray for some rain. We need it.
