Better day fighting wildfires in SE Georgia

Progress was made Wednesday against the massive wildfire along the Georgia-Florida state line. Little or no wind yesterday allowed firefighters to bolster containment lines against the blaze. However, officials expect the forecast to worsen the next few days. Stronger winds are expected to return with higher temperatures.

390 square miles of land have burned on or near the state line from the largest fire. For the fires combined burning in Georgia and Florida, the blazes have charred more than 600 square miles of forest and swampland.
