I want to say a special word of thanks to everyone at Cahaba Valley for inviting me to attend and for their generous hospitality! It was great to see how well the evolutions went, as well as to catch up with some of my old buddies from years ago!

Birmingham Apartment Fire

Birmingham Fire & Rescue responded to a reported apartment fire on 5th Avenue S.W. late Friday. Upon arrival, Rescue 6 didn't initially see anything until smoke started to emerge from the rear or the building. Seeing this, Rescue 6 reported a working fire and requested the next company bring in a line.

Fast work by the firefighters on the scene prevented major damage to the rest of the structure. Another great job!
