Alabama Wildfire: Crews Battle Tough Terrain

0:00A wildfire in Alabama got out of hand from what looks like an escaped, prescribed burn, hitting rapid growth on Saturday during that red flag warning. With high winds and dry air, crews are battling tough terrain out there, steep rocky ridges forming a narrow valley with a creek running through it, which slows down patrols big, time, and a couple of spot fires merged to make things even more complex. No-cat folks worried over the past three days, but air quality is getting better now, while state-wide wildfire calls spike last weekend after the forestry commission put out a fire danger, advisory, and alert. Officials say it might take a few more days to fully contain the blaze, and they're telling everyone to steer clear of rosewood drive and stare it so. Firefighters can do their thing without interruptions. Conditions are easing up stay wide, so the Alabama Forestry Commission is urging no outdoor burning until things cool off for good. Stay safe out there. You've been listening to Birmingham News today, AI-powered local news.
