FIRE DANGER ADVISORY Issued by the AFC

As drought conditions worsen, due to the recent lack of precipitation and high temperatures, the Alabama Forestry Commission is issuing a Statewide Fire Danger Advisory. Until the state receives sufficient rainfall to alleviate the severe dry situation, especially in central Alabama, this elevated fire danger will persist for the foreseeable future.

Mitigation measures should be considered to protect lives and property from wildfire damage. If possible, refrain from burning until fire danger has diminished. Always obtain a permit for prescribed burns, and ensure adequate equipment and personnel are present. Never leave a fire until it is safely extinguished. Conduct post-burn patrols for several days to ensure that reignition has not occurred and firebreaks have not been compromised. In residential areas, be sure to have a water hose prepared and adjacent to the burning area. After burning debris piles, it is necessary to thoroughly soak the area until cold.

As this advisory continues and potentially escalates, it is essential to maintain
situational awareness. Burning debris piles can continue to smolder for multiple days,
eventually spreading out of a previously contained area. Under these critically dry conditions, chances of embers igniting outside of the main burn area are increased.

Fires in areas with deep duff (layers of decaying vegetable matter covering the ground
under trees) can also continue to burn for extended periods of time, potentially causing tree mortality. Driving vehicles into tall grasses, as well as equipment use such as bush-hogging, hay baling, or mulching, can spark ignition.

The Alabama Forestry Commission will continue to monitor the strengthening drought and wildfire statistics across the state. The agency will evaluate if further restrictions are
needed in the coming weeks.

📢AFC Wildfire Update📢

Ahead of last night’s storm system, gusty winds and low relative humidities resulted in extremely erratic fire behavior. On Tuesday, Alabama Forestry Commission (AFC) wildland firefighters suppressed 181 wildfires – a record number for one day – burning approximately 1,700 acres across Alabama.

With forecasts calling for elevated wind speeds across the state today, the agency still strongly discourages any outdoor burning until conditions improve. To report a wildfire, call 911.

This time of year, anyone who insists on burning should use extreme caution and stay aware of local weather updates because of potential windy conditions. Safety recommendations include never leaving a fire unattended until it is out (cold to the touch), having the necessary equipment and personnel to control a fire, and having a garden hose or other water supply on hand for smaller debris burns. Agricultural or silvicultural fires more than a quarter acre in size or within 25 feet of a forested area require a permit from the AFC. 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 charged with protecting Alabama citizens and the state’s forest resources from wildfires. To learn more about burn permits and the services provided by the agency, contact any AFC county office or visit forestry.alabama.gov
