DeKalb firefighters responded to another brush fire last week. Channel 2’s Darryn Moore reported live on Channel 2 Action News This Morning from a fire on Peachtree Industrial Blvd.
The extreme drought conditions and fire danger across the state have fire departments on high alert.
“It doesn’t take much for a small fire to become a big fire. And that big fire to become a bigger fire,” DeKalb County Fire Battalion Chief Steven Vickery said on Thursday.
