High Fire & Rescue, Ricetown Volunteer Fire Department, Corner Volunteer Fire and Rescue and West Blount Fire District – Hayden, along with the State Fire Marshal and Alabama Forestry.
The fire was contained before it could fully involve a neighboring home, where the resident was asleep. Authorities have issued a Fire Danger Advisory, urging residents to refrain from outdoor burning until sufficient rainfall occurs. Updates are available on the Alabama Forestry Commission’s Facebook page.
