Brush Fire Damages Railroad Line

May 10, 2015

A brush fire Sunday afternoon caused some damage to a rail line.

The fire was reported about 2:30 p.m. along the railroad tracks near the 7800 block of South Highway 99, just north of the South Highway 99 crossing at Highway 97A. About 10 railroad ties burned, as rail traffic on the Alabama Gulf Coast Railroad was stopped.

There were no word on the cause of the fire.

    Please do not fling lit cigarettes out of car windows or on the ground!! It’s dry out there.
