REIDSVILLE, GA — In response to a brush and chicken coop fire on Jink Lanier Road, February 2nd, the Reidsville Fire Department joined Collins, Tattnall County, Cobbtown, Rogers State Prison, and Georgia Forestry. When crews arrived, they discovered the fire was threatening neighboring agricultural structures and spreading through dry vegetation. To prevent forward spread, forestry units set containment lines and firefighters set up handlines.
