MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — Authorities say the threat of wildfires in 34 Alabama counties has diminished somewhat due to recent rains and higher humidity.
Alabama Forestry Commission officials they've downgraded the fire threat status of the 34 counties from drought emergency (no burn) to fire alert.
That brings the total number of Alabama counties under the fire alert status to 46.
Twenty-one counties in the southern part of the state remain under the current drought emergency (no burn order). They are Baldwin, Mobile, Escambia, Washington, Conecuh, Monroe, Clarke, Choctaw, Marengo, Wilcox, Covington, Coffee, Geneva, Dale, Henry, Houston, Barbour, Pike, Bullock, Crenshaw, and Butler.
