Cataula firefighters respond to South Georgia wildfire

Cataula firefighters are answering the call for statewide assistance in South Georgia where two of the nation’s worst wildfires are burning.

According to their Facebook page Cataula Fire-Rescue responded by deploying three of our dedicated volunteers, along with Engine 1 and Tanker 6, to assist in protecting lives, homes, and communities in need. These firefighters (Paul Price, Hunter Price, and Tim Ryan) are leaving their families, jobs, and daily lives behind to stand on the front lines. We ask you to join us in sending them prayers, strength, and safe travels as they take on this mission.

The volunteer firefighters from Harris County will be concentrating on a major wildfire raging out of control on Hwy 82 in Brantley County, Georgia, between Waycross and Brunswick. The 35 square mile fire has already destroyed more than 80 homes.
