## Daily Wildfire Report for Georgia - July 28, 2025
### Overview
Georgia is currently experiencing moderate fire danger conditions, with no major wildfires exceeding 1,000 acres reported in the state as of July 24, 2025. The state's fire risk is influenced by local weather conditions, fuel moisture, and ongoing land management practices. Fire weather forecasts and fuel dryness indices are closely monitored to anticipate any potential fire outbreaks. While recent rainfall has temporarily reduced fire risk in some areas, officials warn that conditions remain at a high risk for the coming months.
### Current Situation
**Fire Activity:** As of the last 72 hours, there are no significant active wildfires reported in Georgia that meet the threshold of burning more than 1,000 acres or causing major structural threats. The state is not currently listed among those with large-scale fires in national wildfire summaries.
**Key Fires:** None to report at this time.
**Prescribed Burns and Land Management:** Prescribed burning is an essential land management tool in Georgia, utilized to maintain ecosystem health and reduce wildfire risk. The Georgia Forestry Commission (GFC) encourages prescribed burning and offers assistance with planning and execution. A statewide "Summer Burn Ban" is in effect from May 1 to September 30, prohibiting certain open burning activities in 54 counties to reduce ozone formation during warmer months. This ban includes restrictions on burning yard and land-clearing debris in these areas.
### Weather and Wind Warnings
**Current Weather:** Scattered thunderstorms are expected throughout the week, with varying chances of rain. Temperatures are expected to remain in the high 80s to low 90s Fahrenheit.
**Forecasted Weather:** No active red flag warnings or significant wind events have been reported in Georgia as of the last 72 hours. However, fire weather forecasts indicate moderate fire danger conditions, and residents are advised to remain alert during dry and windy periods, which can elevate fire danger. The National Interagency Fire Center predicts above-normal fire activity for Georgia throughout July and into the coming months.
### Recommendations
**Public Awareness:** Residents are advised to stay informed about local fire restrictions and to exercise caution with any outdoor burning. It is crucial to have an emergency plan in place and to clear dead brush from properties to reduce the risk of catastrophic fires.
