The Alabama Forestry Commission has issued a Fire Danger Advisory for our area, effective immediately through Sunday night, March 29th
We are looking at a "perfect storm" of low humidity, dry fuels, and higher winds. In these conditions, you don’t need a lightning strike to start a disaster—a single spark from a dragging trailer chain, discarded cigarette an unattended grill, fire pit, etc., causing fast-moving wildfires that can not only destroy property and forests but also threaten the lives of citizens and endanger firefighters.
What you need to know to be safe:
No Outdoor Burning: brush piles, campfires or fire pits. If it has a flame, don't light it.
Equipment Check: If you’re hauling a trailer around town, make sure your chains are secured and not dragging. Those sparks can cause dry grass to catch fire.
Watch Where You Park: Avoid parking vehicles in tall, dry grass. Your exhaust system is hot enough to ignite a fire in seconds.
