Recovery efforts are unique to each community and will differ from one another. Recovering from disaster and rebuilding a community are deeply personal experiences. Communities should set their own disaster recovery milestones while taking into account federal support deadlines for specific programs as well.

🚨 FIRE ALERT: NO BURNING THIS WEEKEND 🚨

Chiefs and neighbors,

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

We’re looking at a "perfect storm" of low humidity, extremely dry fuels, and increased wind speeds. In these conditions, it doesn't take a lightning strike to start a disaster—a single spark from a dragging trailer chain or an unattended charcoal grill can put our communities and our firefighters at serious risk.

What you need to know:

No Outdoor Burning: All permits for debris and agricultural burning are suspended. This includes trash piles and campfires.

Equipment Safety: If you’re hauling a trailer, ensure your chains are secured 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 see smoke, don't assume someone else has called it in. Report it to 911 immediately so our crews can get on it while it’s still small.

Let’s work together to keep our boots on the pavement and our woods out of the line of fire this weekend. We appreciate your help in keeping Central Alabama safe.

Stay safe,

Central Alabama Fire Chiefs Association (CAFCA)

Fire Alert!!!! No Burning!!

The Alabama Forestry Commission URGING CAUTION AGAINST WILDFIRES

EXTREME FIRE DANGER! NO OUTDOOR BURNING AND BE CAUTIOUS OF ACCIDENTAL FIRES!

🚫 NO OUTDOOR BURNING IN FULTONDALE THIS WEEKEND 🚫

Fultondale neighbors,

The Alabama Forestry Commission has issued a Fire Alert for our area, effective immediately through Sunday night. I’m asking everyone to help us out this weekend.

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 or an unattended grill can put our community and my firefighters at serious risk.

What you need to know to keep us safe:

No Outdoor Burning: All permits for debris and agricultural burning are suspended. This includes brush piles and campfires. If it has a flame, don't light it.

Equipment Check: If you’re hauling a trailer on I-65 or around town, make sure your chains are secured and not dragging. Those sparks hit dry grass and it's off to the races.

Watch Where You Park: Avoid parking vehicles in tall, dry grass. Your exhaust system is hot enough to ignite a fire in seconds.

See Smoke? Call It In: Don’t assume your neighbor already called 911. If you see smoke, report it immediately so my crews can get on it while it’s still manageable.

Our goal is to keep the boots on the pavement and our woods out of the line of fire this weekend. We appreciate you looking out for each other and for us.

Stay safe,

Chief Justin McKenzie
Fultondale Fire & Rescue

Crews responded to an attic fire early this morning in the 2100 Blk Leola Cir. The fire was the result of a lighting strike. Occupants were home at the time of the strike. No injuries were reported in the incident. Good save North Smithfield Fire District!!!
