Follow Up: Moores Mill Volunteer Fire & Rescue getting equipment donated

The Moores Mill Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department recently touched on the funding challenges it was facing as a result of an increase in applicants, but help is on the way. With more volunteers comes the need for more vital equipment and that’s what Marshall County’s Alder Springs Volunteer Fire Department will soon be providing. They plan to donate turnouts to Moores Mill, which is a form of protective clothing for firefighters. Moores Mill Volunteer Fire and Rescue’s Spokesperson Ethan Fitzgerald explained it’s a testament to the support the fire department community in North Alabama has for each other. “For them to go out of their way to a department that they’ve never had to run mutual aid with, to have another department take the time to think about a crew that’s not even remotely close to them, we’re very thankful for that,” Fitzgerald told News 19.

Thirteen years later: How Tuscaloosa has moved forward since deadly 2011 tornado

PHOTOS: Tuscaloosa changed forever on April 27, 2011, when a devastating tornado struck. Thirteen years later, the recovery, rebuilding and restoration in the tornado's aftermath helped move Tuscaloosa forward in many ways. Tuscaloosa County Probate Judge Rob Robertson said the destruction from the April 27, 2011, tornado provided a blueprint showing how emergency agencies can be better prepared for the next natural disaster. "A lot of things you see and how they do things today and procedures during severe weather ... there are lessons learned out of that terrible tornado, (a) traumatic event," said Robertson, who by virtue of his office also serves as chairman of the Tuscaloosa County Commission.
