Atlanta Fire Rescue is aware of the haze currently visible across the Atlanta area, caused by smoke drifting north from wildfires in South Georgia. At this time, there is no active fire threat associated with the haze in the city of Atlanta.
Residents, especially those with respiratory sensitivities, are encouraged to limit prolonged outdoor exposure and monitor local air quality conditions. We also ask the public to help keep emergency lines available by refraining from calling 911 about the haze unless reporting an active emergency or life-threatening situation.
AFRD continues to monitor conditions and remains committed to keeping our community informed and safe during this time.
