Forest Service: White Co fire now “fully contained”

The Georgia Forestry Commission, working with firefighters from the US Forest Service, says a wildfire that burned north of Unicoi State Park in White County is now 100 percent contained.

The blaze has burned upwards of 200 acres.

“It is being managed by a Type 3 Incident Command Team with the Georgia Forestry Commission and U.S. Forest Service in unified command,” reads a statement from the firefighters still battling the blaze in the Oconee and Chattahoochee National forests.
