Glynn County Issues Updated Wildfire Guidance
Glynn County, GA – Based on the westerly trajectory of the wind and updated fire behavior assessments, the fire is moving away from Glynn County at this time.
Given these conditions, Glynn County is downgrading the current mandatory evacuation order to a voluntary evacuation for the following areas:
- Old Post Road to Highway 32
- Highway 32 to Thalman Park Lane
- Thalman Park Lane to Bladen Road
- Bladen Road to Old Post Road
This recommendation comes from the Southern Area Complex Incident Management Team and is consistent with Glynn County’s current assessment.
Residents should understand that this status may change if fire behavior shifts, wind direction changes, or if additional closures are required.
The voluntary evacuation orders issued earlier for Alpine Road, Gilley Road, Boones Branch Road, Sallie Cline Road, Mauney Street, Chelsea Circle, Post Road north of Highway 82, and Old Post Road north of Highway 32 also remain in effect.
Residents in all affected areas should continue to follow guidance from local officials and be prepared for changing conditions.
Previous road closures on Old Post Road at Highway 82 and Highway 32, Thalman Park Lane at Highway 32, and Bladen Road at Highway 99 are now open.
Highway 32 between Highway 301 and Highway 99 and Highway 110 between Highway 32 and Highway 82 will remain closed. These roadways are maintained by the Georgia Department of Transportation.
Last night at approximately 8:00 p.m., an isolated thunderstorm moved across the entire fire area. Rain gauges recorded between 0.4 and 0.8 inches. While this rainfall does not extinguish the fire, it has provided firefighters with meaningful relief from the extreme fire behavior observed in recent days.
Winds today will be from the northeast and shift to the east tonight and Tuesday. These wind patterns will continue to push fire activity away from Glynn County. The wind shifting to the northeast will push on the western side of the fire along Highway 110.
The wildfire is currently estimated at 22,615 acres and is 6 percent contained.
With conditions continuing to evolve, residents are reminded that Glynn County remains under a local burn ban, and outdoor burning and the use of personal fireworks are strictly prohibited.
