| event_narrative | On April 16th a wildfire broke out along Sweat Road, Ware County, Georgia when a power line fell. As of April 30th, wildfires had burned more than 66,000 acres (100 square miles) in southeast Georgia near the Okefenokee Swamp. Flame lengths up to 100 feet were reported with this fire with strong winds and abnormally dry fuels. At this time Fire officials were calling it the largest fire on record for the state of Georgia. Eighteen homes were destroyed by the fire up until this date. The fire was apparently started when strong winds knocked a power line down, igniting tinder-dry trees. The blaze was approximately 70% contained on April 30th.|Emergency officials temporarily closed a 15-20 mile stretch of U.S. Highway 1 and the CSX railroad track that runs along the highway. Portions of the highway were still closed on 30 April. Other state and local roads were closed due to reduced visibilities from smoke and ash. Additionally, more than 1000 residents near Waycross, GA, were forced to evacuate.|Two NWS Incident Meteorologists (IMETs) were currently deployed to date at the fire. NWS WFO Jacksonville conducted daily briefings for the Ware County EOC and Executive Committee at 5 p.m. The fires continued into May and June. |
