On September 16th at approximately 11:41 a.m., Falkville Fire & Rescue was dispatched to Falkville High School for a reported commercial vehicle fire near the gymnasium.

Upon arrival, crews found a commercial vehicle heavily involved in fire with several nearby vehicles also being exposed to the fire. Due to the close proximity to the gymnasium, crews immediately began fire attack and exposure protection.

The fire was brought under control before it could extend into the gymnasium. During the incident, firefighters also worked to contain a fuel spill from the involved commercial vehicle.

Crews remained on scene after the fire was extinguished to ensure there were no remaining hazards.

There were no students inside the gymnasium at the time of the fire, and no injuries were reported.

Agencies involved:
Falkville Police Department

Falkville Fire & Rescue responded to an 18-wheeler accident on I-65 Northbound near the 318-mile marker.

Crews arrived on scene to find an overturned tractor-trailer that was hauling multiple vehicles. Personnel began assessing the patient, checking for hazards, and working to stabilize the scene.

While operating around the overturned trailer and confirming no injuries, crews heard the sound of a distressed animal coming from underneath the wreckage. After investigating, firefighters located a young deer fawn trapped beneath trees and debris underneath the overturned trailer.

Crews worked their way into the area and were able to safely remove the debris and free the fawn. Once removed, the fawn was checked for any obvious injuries and appeared to be unharmed. It was then released into the nearby wooded area.
