HOMERVILLE, Ga. – Georgia forestry officials have completely contained a wildfire that has raged along the Florida border for three weeks.
Georgia Forestry Commission spokesman Paul Robertson says the Clinch County wildfire has burned through more than 2,700 acres since Nov. 9.
He said the blaze is still producing smoke that can reduce visibility along highways in the area. Winds over the weekend were expected to push the smoke west.
Authorities believe an arsonist caused the fire and are offering a reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of whoever started the blaze.
