Brush fire contained on Lynn Road in Dixie
A Wednesday afternoon brush fire in the Dixie community was contained.
Fire crews from Dixie Volunteer Fire Department responded to the fire on Lynn Road between U.S. Highway 80 West and Pitts Road around 3:50 p.m. eastern time on Wednesday, Oct. 28, 2026.
Crawford and Uchee Creek volunteer fire departments were later dispatched to aid crews in extinguishing the blaze.
Members of the Alabama Forestry Commission responded to the scene with a bulldozer to place a firebreak around the fire.
No structure or campers were involved and the fire was contained to brush-only.
This marks another brush fire to occur in the Crawford-Dixie area since September, including seven fires on Gullatt Road, one on Bleeker Road and another on U.S. Highway 80 at Hugley Road.
The cause of these fires remain unclear.
Motorists are urged to use caution and report any additional fires or dangerous conditions to authorities.
