Outdoor burning will again be permitted beginning October 1 in 54 Georgia counties where restrictions have been in place since May. The Georgia Environmental Protection Division issues the burn ban annually to help reduce emissions from ground level ozone that may jeopardize air quality, mostly in north Georgia.
Burn permits issued by the Georgia Forestry Commission are required for any outdoor burning in the state to help prevent wildfires and problems generated by smoke. They may be
obtained at GaTrees.org or by calling 1-877-O-K-2-BURN.
“The GFC will resume issuing burn permits on a day to day basis in counties that have been under the EPD ban all summer,” said Frank Sorrells, Chief of Protection for the Georgia Forestry Commission. “We’ll be following our normal fire danger and smoke management procedures.”
Sorrells said many areas of the state are currently experiencing dry conditions, causing grasses and vegetation to burn readily. Rainfall in the next few weeks will be critical to reduce the threats of wildfire as we move into the fall and winter months, he said. The Georgia Forestry Commission also promotes prescribed burning for the many wildfire prevention and forest management benefits it provides.
“Safety is our top concern,” said Sorrells, “and we’re asking everyone to be extra cautious when doing open burning of any kind.” According to Sorrells, escaped debris burns are the number one cause of wildfires in our state, and it may be necessary and wise to delay or postpone open burning if local conditions are unfavorable. The GFC advises burners to always keep tools on hand, such as water, a shovel and a cell phone. Never hesitate to call 911, and never leave your fire unattended.

Solarize Newton-Morgan invites to you to attend their Launch Event on Thursday, September 6 at 7:00 PM at the Georgia Wildlife Federation at 11600 Hazelbrand Rd NE, Covington, GA 30014.
The Launch Event is an opportunity for folks to hear more about how solar works, meet the installers, and find out more about solar equipment options. There will be an opportunity for folks to ask questions about the program and to see why now is a great time to consider solar energy for their home or business. You can visit the official Solarize Newton-Morgan website for more information about the Solarize Newton-Morgan campaign and sign up for a free solar analysis for a home or business.
Sustainable Newton is partnering with the Newton County Water and Sewerage Authority, Oxford College Farm, Madison-Morgan Conservancy, Solar CrowdSource, Georgia Interfaith Power and Light, and Environment Georgia to launch a solar photovoltaic group purchasing program. The purpose of the program is to help homeowners, businesses and nonprofits in Newton and Morgan Counties save on the cost of solar through bulk purchasing. Similar programs have been successfully completed in Savannah, Athens and Dunwoody, and have recently been launched in Atlanta and Carrollton.
The steering committee recently received proposals from three Georgia solar installers. We selected Alternative Energy Southeast (AES) because of their commitment to providing low cost solar as well as promoting community engagement and education. In addition, AES has agreed to donate 1% of gross sales to a pro bono solar installation project for a local nonprofit.
