Governor to visit wildfire region

Governor Sonny Perdue will take a tour of southeast Georgia by air later today to get a firsthand look at the damage of wildfires that have been raging for two weeks. So far, the blaze has charred 80-thousand acres of swamp and forest. There are more than 800 firefighters on the scene--it's reported they have the fire about 64-percent contained.

Some smaller fires have now sprung up in Ware and Charlton counties, which have been deemed suspicious enough to call for arson investigators to be brought in. Those experts may have to come from other agencies--the Georgia Forestry Commission's own people are all involved on the lines fighting the fires.
