SHELBY COUNTY, Alabama – Officials with the Alabama Forestry Commission (AFC) continued working Monday, March 30, to put out a fire in Shelby County that they say spans roughly 2,500 football fields. The wildfire, which is within the city limits of Westover, Alabama, is burning on an old game preserve near Rosewood Drive. No homes or businesses are in immediate danger. AFC officials Monday said that the fire is 90% contained. They were first called out to the fire Saturday, March 28. Tyler Givens, a unit manager with the AFC, said that the fire has been challenging to battle due to the steep, rocky terrain. “What we have to do is use leaf blowers and fall off the side of the mountain with leaf blowers and blow in a line rather than use a bulldozer because it was just inaccessible,” Givens said.
