Help us raise a flag at our new station

We’re about halfway through construction on our new fire station, and the progress has been incredible to see. As we plan the final touches, one meaningful addition we’d love to include is a flag pole to proudly fly the American flag.
It will serve as a lasting symbol of the pride, patriotism, and unity we share as a community.
We’re reaching out to see if anyone in the community would be interested in helping with this effort—either by donating a flag pole or contributing toward the purchase of one. Every bit of support helps bring this vision to life.
Please feel free to message us here on Facebook or stop by the station to learn more.
Thank you for always standing with your local volunteers!

📢Alabama Forestry Commission urging caution against wildfires Friday with dry conditions, gusty winds, dropping relative humidity📢


With forecasts calling for elevated wind speeds across the state, the Alabama Forestry Commission (AFC) strongly discourages any outdoor burning until conditions improve. With a significant uptick in wildfire ignitions over the last week – including more than 60 on Wednesday – the agency also points to dropping relative humidity in the afternoon as especially concerning.

In addition to already dry conditions, gusty winds and low relative humidities combine to create dangerous wildfire behavior. The combination of these conditions creates a greater-than-average potential for outdoor fires to escape easily and spread rapidly, taking longer – and more of the agency’s firefighting resources – to contain and ultimately control. Fast-moving wildfires not only destroy property and forests but also threaten the lives of citizens and endanger firefighters.

Permits for outdoor burning will not be issued by the agency on Friday, February 28. Anyone who burns a field, grassland, or woodland without a burn permit may be subject to prosecution for committing a Class B misdemeanor.

In the last seven days, 130 wildfires have burned approximately 3,000 acres of forestland across the state. This includes two large wildfires in Calhoun County (a 550-acre and a 207-acre with two structures lost), one for 253 acres in Lowndes County, and three others over 100 acres in Perry, Pike, and St. Clair counties.

The Alabama Forestry Commission is the state agency committed to protecting Alabama’s invaluable forest assets as well as 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.
