I last posted about the Honey Prairie Fire (GA), burning in the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge, June 6. At that time the fire was 80 percent contained and had burned just over 166,00 acres. The situation has changed since that time, and it is past time for an update. I just checked out the most recent inciweb report (posted on June 16) for the Honey Prairie Complex Fires (9 fires) to see that acreage burned (for these 9 fires) is up to 196,369 acres at 49 percent containment. The Honey Prairie Fire on its own has burned over 193,000 acres and is also at 49% containment. For the latest inciweb report go here. The map below comes from inciweb, and I believe it reflects fire information as of June 13.
The Georgia Forestry Commission has a webpage with links for more information on the Honey Prairie Complex Fires along with a facebook page and a twitter page.
For information from the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge, you might want to check out their webpage or their facebook page.

Almost forgot, the Southern Area Coordination Center issues a morning report, the latest report may be found here. Significant fires in the southern region are summarized, along with crew assignments, weather, etc.
