Cottonwood Fire has called in the Alabama Forestry Commission to help them fight a “major outdoor fire” in the area of Hickory Grove Road, according to Cottonwood Fire officials.
Rescue services were initially called because one person overheated while trying to help put the fire out.
The Alabama Forestry Commission will be in route soon.
Cottonwood Fire is doing their best to knock the fire back, but the area is thickly forested, so brush trucks may not be able to cut through.
The fire comes as the Wiregrass is under a wind advisory.
Alabama Wiregrass counties have been upgraded to an enhanced risk of severe weather (3 out of 5) for Tuesday night. A wind advisory accompanies from noon to 6 a.m. Wednesday morning.
Main hazards are damaging winds and possibly a few tornadoes. The weather is expected to arrive in the area between 11 p.m. and 2 a.m.
Winds will increase throughout the day. We can expect gusts of 35-40 mph with sustained winds near 25 mph.
Lovetown Volunteer Firefighters said to use caution in the 6800 block of Cottonwood Road, where power crews are about to be repairing low-hanging lines.

COMMENTS
Slaughter cows and bulls fully steady to firm. Good quality bred cows and pairs steady. Calves and feeder cattle trading 6 to 12 higher with some instances 15 to 20 higher!! It is a wild market and certainly looks to be very solid with all buyers involved and ALL loaded for bear ! Demand is through the roof on live cattle as well dressed beef.
