A statewide wildfire advisory remains in effect, and the Alabama Forestry Commission has restricted all burn permits through Tuesday, March 4. Anyone who burns a field, grassland, or woodland without a burn permit may be subject to prosecution for committing a Class B misdemeanor.

Ahead of tomorrow’s storm system, relative humidities remain low, and gusty winds will result in erratic fire behavior. Anyone who has burned in the last few days should check their fires to make sure they are properly extinguished. Smoking piles immediately adjacent to flammable vegetation have the chance to rekindle and spread under these conditions.
