Wildfires burn in Northwest Georgia

Drought conditions in Northwest Georgia are severe, causing officials to worry that a serious wildfire could be easily ignited.
Firefighters all over Northwest Georgia have been battling wildfires the past few weeks.
Luckily, all the fires have been kept under control.
But a controlled burn spread quickly out of control Monday in Floyd County and burned 70 acres, leaving some wondering if their town could be the next after Waycross.
Seventeen counties in the northwest are facing severe draught conditions, including the relatively populated areas around Rome, Dalton, Calhoun, Cartersville and Dallas.
Chattanooga’s northwest Georgia suburbs are also at risk.
Rain is predicted for the area all day Thursday, which could lessen the fire risk.
