Forester

🔥 Progress on the Fireline We’re seeing positive movement on both major fires: • Pineland Rd Fire: now 23% contained • Highway 82 Fire: now 32% contained That progress doesn’t happen by chance—it happens because of the men and women on the ground every single day. The engine strike team pictured here is just one example of the dedication, grit, and teamwork it takes to move the needle on fires of this scale. Long hours, tough conditions, and unwavering commitment to protecting lives, property, and Georgia’s forests. These are the people behind the progress. And we are incredibly grateful for them. Please continue to do your part: stay clear of fire areas, follow local guidance, and help prevent the next fire. Fighting fire. Protecting forests. Serving Georgia. #WildfireUpdate #GeorgiaForestry #EmergencyResponse #FirstResponders #OneLessSpark
