The U.S. Forest Service has lifted its week-long burn ban for the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest.
The ban was issued on March 27 in response to extreme fire weather conditions across Northeast Georgia.
Effective immediately, visitors to the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest may resume campfires and other permitted fire activities following local regulations and forest guidelines.
The public is reminded to follow fire safety best practices, including:
- Keeping fires small and manageable;
- Never leaving fires unattended;
- Fully extinguishing fires before leaving an area;
- Checking for any additional local fire restrictions.
