Multiple Brush, Woods Fires Spring Up Tuesday Afternoon

Tuesday was a busy afternoon for brush and woods fires in Stephens County.

Volunteer fire crews and crews from the Georgia Forestry Commission were summoned to at least two brush fires during the afternoon hours.

One was in the area of North Broad River Road and the other was on Suttles Road.

The Suttles Road fire covered about an acre and a half when the first crews arrived on scene. There is no word on the size of the other fire.

Meanwhile, Toccoa fire crews responded to a brush fire Tuesday afternoon off of Mize Road.
