SUMMARY: A downed power line ignited a forest fire in Lamar County, Alabama, on Tuesday, resulting in dozens of acres burning near Beaver Creek Road, north of Vernon.

Another woods fire is reported near Kennedy in the southern part of the county. Due to ongoing fire hazards, the Lamar County EMA is urging people to refrain from burning at this time.
