Wildfires force more evacuations

Late Thursday afternoon, residents in an area southwest of Waycross were under mandatory evacuation orders when strong winds pushed flames across fire-lines.
The order was issued for those living on Swamp Road from Suwannee Chapel Road to Jim Cox Road, and another portion of Suwanee Chapel Road from Suwannee Chapel Church to Swamp Road.

The massive complex of fires together has burned over 380-thousand acres.
