FIRE DANGER ADVISORY EXPANDS TO ALL COUNTIES STATEWIDE.

With the worsening drought conditions and no significant accumulation of rain in the long-range forecast, the Alabama Forestry Commission has now placed all counties across the state under a Fire Danger Advisory, effective immediately.

In the past 30 days, 246 wildfires have burned nearly 3,000 acres.

A Fire Danger Advisory indicates that fuels conductive to the start and spread of wildfire are more readily available during a drought. Although the AFC is not issuing a burn restriction, the agency strongly discourages any outdoor burning until conditions improve.
