 WAYCROSS, Ga. (AP) - Hundreds of residents were told to leave their homes Thursday as one wildfire rekindled and destroyed at least three buildings and another threatened to jump a highway, authorities said.
A fire in the southeastern part of the state that firefighters had contained last week began raging again Thursday afternoon, 911 dispatcher Elaine Wilson said.
She was unsure how extensive the fire was but said it spread about four miles along U.S. Highway 301. Twenty-five to 30 homes just outside Nahunta were evacuated and three unoccupied buildings were destroyed, said Jerry Rohnert of the Bureau of Land Management.
