Ware County Fire Rescue

⚠️ 🔥 URGENT 🔥 ⚠️

Good afternoon, due to the severe drought in South Georgia the City Of Waycross has a permanent no burn ordinance in place and Ware County has suspended burn permits until further notice. Please note that to burn any yard debris in Ware County, you must obtain a burn permit. Burning without a permit is illegal in Ware County and punishable by fines. We urge everyone within the city and county do not burn anything outside until further notice. Please be very attentive to grilling outside also. If you notice any outside fires, please call 911.

Thank you,

James E. Blackburn Jr.
Fire Chief, City of Waycross
