As a citizen you have the right to report suspicious and/or possible illegal outdoor fires. If you feel that a fire is questionable, there are two ways to report this.
- Call the fire station. Personnel are available to answer your questions, and respond if needed.
- Call the non-emergency number for the Walker County Emergency Communications Center. This will connect you to a dispatcher who can send the appropriate fire units.
Please, DO NOT attempt to confront a person who you believe is burning illegally. The fire department, and dispatch center, will keep your identity confidential if a complaint is received. The fire department will respond to investigate, and will enforce code under the direction of the Fire Marshal, if needed. The fire department is supported, and works closely with the Huntsville Police Department, and other local law enforcement, who will respond and assist if a need arises.
