📢AFC URGING CAUTION AGAINST WILDFIRES📢

With forecasts calling for elevated wind speeds and a dry front passage across the state, the Alabama Forestry Commission (AFC) strongly discourages any outdoor burning until conditions improve. The agency also points to dropping relative humidity and an increase in wind speed on Saturday as especially concerning.

With the anticipation of critical fire weather conditions, AFC is issuing a Fire Danger Advisory on Friday, March 27. The potential for critical fire weather elevates on Saturday, March 28, increasing the threat issued to a Fire Alert. By Sunday, March 29, the potential for critical fire weather decreases slightly, lowering the threat issued to a Fire Danger Advisory.

The combination of these conditions creates a greater-than-average potential for outdoor fires to escape easily and spread rapidly, taking longer – and more of the agency’s firefighting resources – to contain and ultimately control. Fast-moving wildfires not only destroy property and forests but also threaten the lives of citizens and endanger firefighters.

Prescribed burn permits will be limited to only Certified Prescribed Burn Managers on Friday. Permits for outdoor burning will not be issued to anyone on Saturday. The AFC plans to resume regular permit issuing on Sunday, March 29, provided improved weather conditions. Anyone who burns a field, grassland, or woodland without a burn permit may be subject to prosecution for committing a Class B misdemeanor.

In the last seven days, 147 wildfires have burned approximately 5,600 acres of forestland across the state. This includes a large wildfire in Wilcox County (963 acres), one for 464 acres in Montgomery County, one for 505 acres in Marengo, and four others over 200 acres in Choctaw, Covington, Etowah, and Walker counties.

The Alabama Forestry Commission is the state agency committed to protecting Alabama’s invaluable forest assets as well as 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.

After a long night of being on call at a structure fire that started just before 7pm last night multiple fire depts on scene . West point , Logan , Bethsadia , Jones Chappel , Battleground , Sardis ,Crane Hill , Vinemont . And sitting here with some units still on scene nearly 24 hours later . We have been cold ,wet , hungry ,exhausted and a break needed . Over 200,000 gallons of water flowed lots of hand lines and LDH that had to be loaded back after all the long hours . As Chief of Logan Fire Rescue I want to thank all firefighters on scene for their hard work and continuing to push forward . But we all need more volunteers we are all short handed so if you would like to become a volunteer find ur local dept. and see about helping there is always something u can do on any scene to help . Again thanks to all the depts and personell that came and put the long hours in . And for the ones that didnt show up I hope your shoe laces break .We need more volunteers!

Today we purchased a new boat to be used on Smith Lake for SEARCH AND RECOVERY and we will also be purchasing the EXPLORER MK 2 SONAR as pictured below . This is a 60k sonar that we have been needing for helping recover drowning victims on Smith Lake . This system is one of the systems used by outside agencies when they are called here because nobody around here has anything like this . We will be rigging the new boat with this sonar . Once rigged and in service this boat will be able to be utilized on all of Smith Lake when needed and any other area if needed . we were tired of not having the right equipment here in Cullman County for search . There will be other Depts that join the lake involved with all of this also . We want to have several people from the surrounding depts trained on the boat and sonar operations . The sonar training will have to be done in Virginia . And some training will be done here locally by other agencies that have pledged to come help get this system setup up and going . 7 depts surround Smith Lake and we are trying our best to have the boats and tools needed for Fires , Boat Accidents , Drownings or whatever it may be . We are all Volunteers and we are trying to make a difference ! 3 years ago we did not have anything for the lake . BE PROUD AND SUPPORTIVE ! This equipment is not cheap .
