More than 40 wildfires have burned approximately a thousand acres throughout Alabama this week, according to WKRG. In Mobile and Baldwin Counties alone, hundreds of acres have been burned.
The gusty winds and low humidity level has helped the wildfires spread.
While a burn ban has not been issued, firefighters want the public to know it is too dangerous to burn anything outside. Residents should check the weather forecast before attempting to burn anything outdoors. If in doubt about whether to burn anything outside, contact your local fire department for advice.
