IFD / CVFD Woods Fires

Irondale Fire Department
Rex Lake / Cahaba Valley Fire Department

There were two rather large woods fires today. One in Irondale and the other in the Rex Lake area.

Irondale Fire Department responded to a woods fire off Old Leeds Road that took over an hour to extinguish. Cahaba Valley / Rex Lake Department responded to a woods fire off Hwy 119.

Considering how much wind there was and how dry conditions were, both departments did a great job of preventing these fires from running away.
