WAYCROSS, Ga. (AP) - An overnight wind shift drove smoke from the wildfire in southeast Georgia to Atlanta and Chattanooga, Tenn., officials said Sunday.
The wildfire, believed to have started from a downed power line on April 16, is 30 percent contained, but continues to spread, Sharon Dolliver of the Georgia Forestry Commission said. Another 10,000 acres burned Sunday and the total burn is 55,000 acres, or 85 square miles.
Another commission spokesman, Eric Mosley, said firefighters were able to get a lot accomplished Sunday.
