Courtland Fire Department was dispatched to a structure fire in the Town of North Courtland during the early morning hours at 4:19. Upon arrival at 4:20 a.m., we found a single-family dwelling with moderate smoke showing from all eaves of the roof. All occupants were safely evacuated by our crews. We then established an offensive attack on the fire, which was located in the attic of the structure. With the assistance of Station 6 (Hillsboro Fire Department) and Station 5 (Town Creek Fire Department), the fire was successfully extinguished. American Red Cross was called for emergency assistance for family. We would like to thank Courtland Utilities and Lawrence County 911 Central Dispatch for their support and coordination. All units cleared at 06:58 no injuries. Please keep this family in your prayers!

Respectfully,
Chief Scott Norwood Courtland Fire Department

Participating in the Young Minds at Work at Lockheed Martin today. We are always proud to represent at events with our community partners. It truly takes the village to raise a child and seeing these young men and women show interest in science, defense, healthcare, and public safety is a great thing!

This Saturday March 14, 2026, Courtland Fire Department had the opportunity to speak about emergency preparedness with the local Alpha Kappa Alpha Phi Upsilon Omega Chapter in Town Creek. It’s always great to see others pouring into our youth and mentoring. Opportunities like this are also great for planting the seed for future community first responders. It’s also good to just answer questions about what to do in times of emergency. Also present to speak about weather emergencies was WAAY-TV31 Chief Meteorologist Jeff Castle.

I acknowledge that the immediate closure of the old overhead railroad bridge will cause inconvenience to many. However, this decision was unavoidable due to the critical Life Safety Hazard posed by the deterioration of concrete purlins, piers, and shifting of wingwalls. Following a thorough examination by a renowned bridge inspector, Mayor John McGregor and I concurred that immediate closure was the only viable option. Please be assured that we do not take such decisions lightly and apologize for the resulting inconvenience.

Respectfully,
Scott Norwood
Public Safety Director,
Town of Courtland
