Silas VFD received a call for a tree down across Bladon Springs Rd. Silas VFD arrived on scene to a large pine blocking both lanes. Our volunteer firefighters were able to clear the tree and the road is now open. With rain expected to continue, we urge everyone to be cautious when driving, not only with the possibility of downed trees, but also the chance of flooding in our area.

STATEWIDE FIRE ALERT ISSUED
MONTGOMERY -- 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.”
The Fire Alert will remain in effect until rescinded by the State Forester, at least through Monday, April 20.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.
