Firefighters are reminding residents and business owners to use caution with outdoor burning as dry conditions continue across the region.
Habersham County Emergency Services responded earlier this week to a grass and brush fire at Southern Chimney and Fireplace, located at 3128 Old Historic Highway 441. When crews arrived, they found approximately one-quarter acre of grass and brush actively burning or already burned.
Firefighters used approximately 700 gallons of water to contain and extinguish the blaze. No injuries were reported.
Personnel spoke with the business owner at the scene and provided education on outdoor burning regulations. Habersham County Emergency Services continues to urge the public to follow all outdoor burning regulations and remain vigilant to help prevent unintended fires during ongoing dry conditions.
