Highway 82 fire reaches 45% containment in Brantley County

Firefighters in South Georgia are making steady progress against the massive Highway 82 fire, though officials warn that recent rainfall was not the "fire killer" many had hoped for. As of Sunday morning, the blaze has scorched 22,532 acres and is now 45% contained. Despite the moisture that fell over the weekend, the fire continues to burn deep within the organic soil, requiring hundreds of personnel to remain on the front lines in what remains a "dynamic and changing" situation.
