Lacey’s Spring Fire and Rescue

Today, we will pause to remember the courageous men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. Their legacy is defined by the lives they saved, the communities they protected, and the unwavering courage they showed in the face of danger. To a firefighter, 'service' isn't just a job—it's a lifelong commitment to their neighbors, often at the highest cost. We carry their memory in our hearts, ensuring their bravery is never forgotten and their sacrifice is always met with our deepest gratitude. May they continue to rest in peace as we carry on the job in their honor. 🇺🇸

From ALDOT:
The Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) is urging motorists to use extreme caution in the coming days as temperatures are expected to drop below freezing across much of the state. These conditions significantly increase the potential for what is commonly referred to as black ice to form on bridges and roadways.

Black ice is a layer of ice that can be hard to detect on roadways, making conditions extremely treacherous and increasing crash risks. ALDOT is staging its crews in strategic locations to treat routes and respond to incidents. However, icy patches may form on seemingly passable surfaces, especially on bridges and overpasses.

Extreme cold temperatures can make roadway treatments less effective. These temperatures could also create conditions that significantly limit the ability of ALDOT crews to treat icy roadways.

ALDOT emphasizes the importance of prioritizing safety and driving according to current road conditions.

🚧Tips for motorists during winter weather
ALDOT urges motorists to take winter weather seriously and make safe decisions before heading out. Even treated roadways can become hazardous, especially when rain transitions to freezing conditions.

▪️Avoid travel until conditions improve: Once winter precipitation begins, ALDOT urges motorists to avoid travel during adverse weather and roadway conditions.
▪️Slow down: If travel cannot be avoided, reduce your speed and increase your following distance, allowing extra room to stop. Plan additional travel time to reach your destination.
▪️Avoid sudden braking and steering: These actions can cause your vehicle to lose control.
▪️Turn on your headlights: This will make your vehicle more visible to other drivers.
▪️Avoid using cruise control on icy roads: This can cause you to lose control of your vehicle if you hydroplane.
▪️Watch for workers: Be aware of emergency personnel and crews treating and clearing roadways.
▪️Move crashed vehicles: In the event of a minor crash, safely move vehicles off the roadway if possible, to maintain access for first responders and treatment crews. Do not abandon vehicles in travel lanes.

Motorists are encouraged to stay informed about road conditions and visit ALDOTNews.com, ALGOTraffic.com or download the ALGO Traffic app or their social media channels.

03:28 Lacey’s Spring Fire along with Brindlee Mountain Fire were toned out for a possible residential structure fire in the area of the 500 block of River Loop Rd. Upon arrival, crews found a fully involved mobile home. Initial search of the home was done and it was determined to be unoccupied. Power was cut to the home and the fire was quickly knocked down and extinguished. Great job by everyone on scene and thanks as always for the mutual aid from Brindlee Mountain Volunteer Fire Department and Decatur Morgan EMS!

Due to the ongoing federal government shutdown, FEMA has limited staffing and is experiencing significant delays in processing NIMS certificates. Because the Alabama Fire College cannot delay firefighter certification processes, we will temporarily suspend the requirement to produce FEMA-issued NIMS certificates (NIMS 100, 200, 700, and 800).
