DOTHAN: Late this afternoon Dothan 911 dispatched Dothan Fire to an outdoor fire on Horseshoe Loop off Third Avenue.
On the arrival of Dothan Fire it was quickly determined access to the Fire was better from Memphis Church Road.
With the wind the Fire was growing rapidly. Alabama Forestry was called but were on three other outdoor fires.
The Fire scene was under the command of Dothan Fire Batallion Chief Ash. Dothan Fire Chief Larry Williams responded. Dothan - Houston County Emergency Management responded.
Multiple Houston County UNPAID PROFESSIONAL Fire Departments responded; Hodgesville, Lovetown, Southern Junction, Wicksburg, Gordon. A 4,300 gallon Wicksburg tanker responded. Cottonwood Rescue responded.
Dothan Fire Chief Larry Williams, Houston County Sheriff Donald Valenza, Dothan - Houston County Emergency Management Director Chris Judah and Dothan Fire Duty Officer Captain Stephen Messer all responded.
Emergency units made sure houses were safe.
As soon as Alabama Forestry got free they were on the scene plowing break lines.
Drone units from Wicksburg and Columbia responded.
After several hours the Fire was under control.
It was a terrific working relationship between every agency involved. All worked pleasantly under the unified command under Batallion Chief Ash.
