Recent smokey air in Athens due to prescribed forest burns

Recent smokey air in Athens due to prescribed forest burns Wind shifts sent the smoke over Clarke and neighboring counties. “This week has been like the Super Bowl week for prescribed burning,” Wendy Burnett, public relations director for the Georgia Forestry Commission, said Friday. “The weather has been perfect. There has been a lot of prescribed burning going on and we can expect that to continue for the next few days. But rain next week could slow or halt the activity, she said. The smoke from those fires was easy to detect in Athens. “We had one burn (Thursday) for a couple of hours at the Sandy Creek Nature Center, but it was small. It was not the source of the smoke we’ve been encountering,” Athens-Clarke County Fire Capt. Nate Moss said Friday. The recent smoke “covered almost all of the county when the winds changed direction.”
