Fire Alert Continues Statewide

Submitted by Anonymous on Friday, October 15th, 8:58 am

The statewide Fire Alert, initially issued by the Alabama Forestry Commission on September 23rd, remains in effect for all 67 counties of Alabama. This alert was issued because of the extremely dry conditions which create a high risk potential for devastating wildfire. The rain received earlier this week by some counties was unfortunately not significant enough to reduce the danger. Since September 1st, there have been 1,081 wildfires occurring across the state burning approximately 9,432 acres of land. During that same time period, firefighters have saved 626 occupied dwellings.

The Madison City Council has approved an agreement for a land swap with the Madison School Board.

City Attorney Kelly Butler says the city and school board will swap land in an even exchange if the school board approves it at a joint meeting on Tuesday.

School board member Connie Spears says the school system needs land to build a new bus garage, and the city owns 10 acres near the central office site.

Mayor Paul Finley says the land the city expects to acquire from the school board will improve access to the downtown area from the stadium and to alleviate congestion after events there.
