A large column of smoke from a Gilmer County fire filled the air today, so keep an eye on air quality if you're in the area. On a brighter note, if you're looking for a summer getaway, there's a scenic 26-mile train ride through Georgia's ancient mountains just 90 minutes from Atlanta for $45, featuring winding rivers and wildlife along the way. As Fourth of July celebrations approach, local fire departments are reminding folks to keep pets safe during the festivities.
