May 4, 2026 news from Scott Ryfun

More than 100 people attended Saturday’s multi Agency information center to assist those who need help as a result of the Brantley County Highway 82 Fire. The center included GEMA and Homeland Security who were on hand, along with Faith based organizations, The Red Cross, the Brantley School Systems, representatives from the Board of Commissioners, Family Connection, and other support partners. There are more information centers planned to assist those just returning home and as more resources become available.

In the meantime, all voluntary evacuations have been lifted for Glynn County residents. Saturday’s rainfall of over an inch helped firefighters ensure progress. The fire is now 75% contained as of today.

A Glynn County Police Supervisor was responding to a call Friday, when his vehicle collided with another vehicle. The driver of the second vehicle was taken to the hospital for treatment, but succumbed Saturday to injuries sustained in the crash. The Georgia State Patrol is taking the lead in the crash investigation.
