Local firefighters and emergency personnel have had their hands full today fighting one fire after another. Currently departments are at fires in Huffines, near Roadside Park on Hwy. 59 near Linden and in Domino. According to Chief Robin Betts with the Atlanta Fire Departments, there have been at least seven brush fires started today due mainly to high winds. He believes some have been caused by arching power lines. Several houses have been in danger due to the blazes.
Firefighters ask local residents not to burn during these windy conditions.
