✨️✨️Celebrating the Voices Behind the Radio✨️✨️
​National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week is all about honoring the "invisible first responders" who act as the vital link between our community and the help they need.
​When an emergency call comes in, these dedicated professionals are the calm voice in the storm, ensuring our firefighters at Ridge Road Volunteer Fire Department get the right information to respond quickly and safely.
✨️✨️​Why We Say Thank You✨️✨️
​They are the first link in the chain of survival.
​They provide life-saving instructions over the phone before help arrives.
​They keep our firefighters safe by monitoring radio traffic and managing resources.
​To our dispatchers and telecommunicators: Thank you for your service, your steady nerves, and for always being on the other end of the line.

📢With worsening drought conditions across the state and low relative humidity, State Forester Rick Oates has issued a statewide Fire Alert effective immediately.

Over the past weekend, 50 wildfires burned more than 2,300 acres of forestland across the state. This includes a 500-acre wildfire in Mobile County, one for 412 acres in Coosa County, one for 382 acres in Choctaw County, one for 260 acres in Washington County, and another one for 105 acres in Escambia County.

In the last 30 days, 387 wildfires have burned approximately 15,850 acres of forestland across the state.

“With no measurable rain in sight, the continued extremely dry conditions create dangerous wildfire behavior,” said Oates. “These conditions create the potential for fires to escape easily and spread rapidly, taking longer and more of the agency’s firefighting resources to contain. Fast-moving wildfires not only destroy property and forests but also threaten the lives of citizens and endanger firefighters.”

This Fire Alert will remain in effect until rescinded by the State Forester, at least through Monday, April 20. Conditions will be reevaluated at that time. Permits for outdoor burning will be restricted only to Certified Prescribed Burn Managers. Anyone who burns a field, grassland, or woodland without a burn permit may be subject to prosecution for committing a Class B misdemeanor.

The Alabama Forestry Commission is the state agency committed to protecting Alabama’s invaluable forest assets and its citizens. To report a wildfire, call (800) 392-5679. For more information on the current wildfire situation in the state or any other forestry-related issues, contact your local AFC office or visit the agency website at www.forestry.alabama.gov
