The Brantley County wildfire has expanded as fire crews battle historic drought conditions.
www.wokv.comHere are the latest updates I can summarize from recent reports:
- A large Brantley County wildfire in South Georgia intensified in late April 2026, with thousands of acres burned and hundreds of homes affected as evacuation orders continued to evolve.[2][3]
- By April 25, 2026, the fire had grown to roughly 20,900 acres with only a small portion contained, and officials warned containment would take time amid ongoing drought conditions.[2]
- Local authorities and media outlets reported curfews and expanded evacuations in affected areas, and state emergency actions remained in effect to support firefighting efforts.[3][4]
