"We do a lot of prescribed burning under the right conditions. Not drought conditions like we're in now. It's not uncommon to see deer and turkey coming in right behind the fire,” Waters said. Wildlife officials say acorns and pine needles are easy for animals to find, since all the fallen leaves have burned off. Meantime, GA Forestry officials say until it rains—a lot—firefighters will likely have to stay in the field. In a few months, they say the scorched earth will look quite different. "I encourage you to go look at some of these areas in the spring. You'll see the re-growth that will come back pretty quickly. It's amazing,” Waters said.
