Fast-moving wildfires ravaging southern parts of drought-riddled Georgia prompted evacuations and burn bans as firefighters respond to a near-record number of daily blazes. People in Clinch and Echols counties were told to flee their homes Wednesday, after a wildfire that began over the weekend grew to consume a whopping 17,000 acres and only remained 10% contained, WALB News reported.   More than 40 units of equipment and over 70 firefighters were sent to battle that blaze, which officials are calling the Pineland Road Fire.
