LULATON — “We’ve come a long ways from day one ... we’re in a lot better place than we were when we started this.”

It was an agreement between Shane Hardee and Lance Robinson, Operations Section Chiefs with Southern Area Complex Incident Management Team 1 Thursday, May 7 before turning the operations back over to the Georgia Forestry Commission.

The fight has been helped by rain Saturday, May 2 and again Friday night, May 8 into Saturday, May 9.
