On Monday, June 8, 2026, at approximately 8:30 p.m., the Attalla Fire Department was dispatched to the 600 block of Morgan Drive NW for a reported structure fire.

Upon arrival, firefighters found a condemned residence approximately 75% involved in fire. Crews deployed handlines and utilized Quint 1's 75-foot aerial ladder to conduct fire suppression operations and bring the fire under control.

The residence was unoccupied at the time of the fire, and no injuries were reported.

The Attalla Fire Department would like to thank all responding personnel for their quick and professional response.
