Camden County wildfires

St. Marys, Ga. — Camden County emergency officials are keeping a close eye on two separate wildfires burning this Easter Sunday.

One is burning off Horse Stamp Church Road. The other is burning at the Camden Municipal Solid Waste Landfill off GA Highway 110.

Camden County Emergency Management announced Sunday that the landfill will remain closed Monday due to the fire. As a result, trash collection will be delayed by one day.

There is a smoke advisory in effect near the landfill. But county leaders say neither fire is threatening homes or roadways, and that there is no threat to public safety.
