Opelika fire crews responded to a Tuesday morning fire at a daycare facility.
The fire broke out around 3:30 a.m. on Tuesday, January 13, 2026, at By His Grace Daycare and Learning Center, which is located in the 300 block of S Sixth Street.
Opelika Fire Inspector Bob Parsons confirmed to CNAW2News.com fire crews responded to the scene after a passerby called emergency services saying they saw flames coming from the side of the building. Fire crews from Station 1, which is a minute from the daycare facility, responded to the scene and were able to extinguish the fire quickly.
