📢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This Fire Alert will remain in effect until rescinded by the State Forester, at least through Monday, April 20.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

FIRE ALERT: NO BURNING THIS WEEKEND

March 26, 2026 at 4:33:17 PM CDT

The Alabama Forestry Commission has officially issued a Fire Alert for all of Central and North Alabama, effective immediately through Sunday night.

We anticipate a “perfect storm” of low humidity, extremely dry fuels, and increased wind speeds. In these conditions, even a single spark from a dragging trailer chain or an unattended charcoal grill can ignite a disaster, posing serious risks to our communities and firefighters.

Key points to be aware of:

- No Outdoor Burning: All permits for debris and agricultural burning are suspended, including trash piles and campfires.

- Equipment Safety: If you’re hauling a trailer, ensure your chains are securely fastened and not dragging on the pavement.

- Vehicle Hazards: Avoid parking any vehicle in tall, dry grass where the exhaust system could ignite a fire.

- Report Smoke Early: If you observe smoke, don’t assume someone else has already reported it. Immediately report it to 911 so our crews can address it promptly.

Let’s collaborate to keep our boots on the ground and our woods out of the line of fire this weekend. We appreciate your assistance in maintaining the safety of Central Alabama.
