US Forest Service officials say, they expect to have three more air tankers to tackle this year's wildfire season. And ten more are on the way for next year. The service could call on the military aircraft when large fires get out of control anywhere in the country, including South Georgia. A burn ban is going into effect Tuesday.
The Trust for Public Land and the USDA Forest Service announced completion of the sale of 901 acres of TPL owned property within the boundaries of the Oconee National Forest to the Forest Service.
