The Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources announced more fire precautions for all parks due to the continued drought. Park visitors and overnight guests were asked to be extra careful with campfires and barbecue grills as the fire danger has risen. Campfires are not permitted outside of designated day-use picnic areas, campgrounds or developed recreational areas, but barbecue grills and gas-fueled stoves are allowed. The fire precautions were in addition to the Sept. 22 statewide fire alert.
