I think that one was near Statesboro, Ga. I looked on the public website and they dont have the pics there. I will have to check on the Forestry Intranet when I get to work monday.

Most larger fires are in south and southeast Georgia. Most dont know but the Okefenokee Swamp is about 400,000 acres. Year 2002, wildfires burned over 300,000 acres. The refuge is surrounded by 2 million acres of private timberland.
