According to
the commission, 96 percent of all wildfires in Georgia are caused by humans.
Of those, 47 percent are attributed to careless debris burning.
When burning
a pile of leaves or limbs, it is important to make sure the area around
the burn is well-cleared and equipment is on hand to extinguish the fire,
according to the commission. Such fires should never be left unattended.
The commission
offers assistance in installing firebreaks for farmers and woodland owners
wishing to burn an area. It also offers other types of assistance and
pamphlets on protecting property against wildfire.
