Honey Prairie Fire

2011 wildfire in Okefenokee Swamp, Georgia

The Honey Prairie Fire was a 2011 wildfire that burned 309,200 acres (1,251 km2) of primarily scrub and brush in the Okefenokee Swamp of southern Georgia. Because fire restores the prairie ecosystem, fire managers in the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge allowed the fire to burn. Fire fighters worked to preserve structures and keep the fire within the refuge rather than contain the flames.
