After destroying more than 120 homes, wildfires still a danger, Georgia officials say

As of April 25, 2026, two major wildfires in southeastern Georgia have destroyed more than 120 homes, are only 10% contained, and remain dangerous due to forecasted strong winds, with officials urging residents to comply with evacuation orders. The blazes are part of a larger outbreak of over 150 wildfires across Georgia and Florida that have caused widespread smoke, air quality warnings, and one firefighter fatality in northern Florida, amplified by drought, climate change, and forest debris from 2024's Hurricane Helene.
