The Georgia Forestry Commission has issued its first mandatory burn ban in state history as firefighters struggle to contain the rapidly spreading blazes.

Air quality warnings have been issued for cities hundreds of miles away as smoke blankets the region.

Residents in Brantley County report a total loss of property, with many unsure if their homes are still standing.
