The Status of Fires in Rabun County
The us forest service held a public meeting Monday night to discuss where things stood
With the the rock ridge fire
One of the biggest points they wanted to make was gratitude. They were very grateful
For the outpouring of generosity and kindness from the people of Rabun county
More than one forest service personnel commented that of all the fires they have worked
And places they have gone that they have not seen any community that has reached out
To the firefighters like the people of Rabun county have we listen in as Jason Ingle from the national forest service speaks
They also mentioned that there
Has not been any fire movement since the rains began and that their primary efforts
Were now going to be to help rehabilitate the burned area .so that it may come back
As quickly as possible
Also mentioned was that the burn ban had been lifted but to please use caution because
The surface of the things may be wet but things are still dry underneath.
