Burn ban ends in Georgia

The state's seasonal burn ban ends today.

But burning trash can be dangerous right now, with an increase of fire spreading due to extremely dry weather.

Officials say people should not burn when there are high winds and low humidity, according to the Associated Press.

The ban lasted from May 1 to September 30.

The state imposed it to cut down on air pollution.
