Habersham County firefighters and forestry crews were working to put out a woods fire near Mt. Airy late Monday afternoon.
A caller reported the fire to Habersham County E-911 shortly before 4 p.m.
Dispatchers sent units from Habersham County Emergency Services (HCES) to the area of Border Line Drive off of Dicks Hill Parkway. The fire was burning northwest of the county landfill.
Smoke from the fire could be seen for several miles around, witnesses say. HCES Director Jeff Adams says available information is limited at this time.
Now Habersham will update this story as details are released.
