The Alabama Forestry Commission has released a critical danger fire message, warning against the danger of fires spreading out of control.

“With summer winding down and the upcoming holiday weekend, we are urging everyone to use extreme caution with all debris burning and outdoor fires, including campfires,” said State Forester Linda Casey. “No burn restrictions have been issued at this time. However, the existing drought conditions, combined with lower humidity as the fall season approaches, could potentially contribute to hazardous wildfire behavior.”
