Thanks to ABC 33/40 Skywatcher Daniel Carter for these images… he writes:
“Red Flag Warning Day no doubt. On the way home along HWY 21 N today between the cities of Talladega and Munford 3 fires within 2 miles of each other along the roadside had started. Quickly dialing 911 to make sure the report was called in. While no structures or homes that I know of sustained any damage it was a very close call for a couple homes and one church. Several surrounding fire vol. stations responded including Munford, Ironaton, Eastabogo and Waldo and all did a good job to quickly get the fires under control in less than 2 hours. It appeared that the fires may have be started by cigarettes being thrown out along the highway. The last two pictures are of yet another fire that started near Bell Springs Mountain and the Alabama Forestry division was still fighting that fire late this afternoon. Sorry images a little fuzzy taken w/my cell phone. People really need to watch it out while burning w/conditions as they were today.”
