High Fire Danger Alert Issued
November 17, 2025 | GEORGIA
On November 17, 2025, Banks County Emergency Services shared a GEMA/HS and National Weather Service alert warning residents of high fire danger conditions across north and central Georgia. The NWS reports that relative humidity levels are expected to drop to 25 percent or lower for at least four hours, with some areas seeing values as low as 15 percent. Combined with northwest winds of 8 to 12 mph and already dry fuels, the risk of fires spreading rapidly is elevated throughout the afternoon and evening. Officials urge anyone conducting outdoor burning to use extreme caution and remain vigilant, as conditions are highly favorable for fire ignition and rapid growth.
