(Announcement from the Rome-Floyd Fire Department):
The Rome-Floyd Fire Department asks the public to delay outdoor burning until our area receives significant rainfall.
RFD crews and Georgia Forestry have responded to numerous grass and woods fires that have endangered structures. Weather conditions are perfect for the rapid spread of any fire, and these fires can quickly endanger life and property.
There is a potential for rainfall towards the end of this week, according to the National Weather Service.
