Thursday has been a fairly busy day for the Attala County Fire Department.
Around 4:45 AM, the ACFD was notified of a small brush fire on Attala Rd 5016. It ultimately posed no danger to any structures and was very quickly put out.
Later, at about 3:00 PM, they received another call regarding a fire that started behind a structure and spread into the woods. The firefighters were able to easily douse the blaze and soak the area to prevent rekindling.
Minutes later, around 3:15, another call came in about a fire on Hwy 14 W. The blaze has consumed around 25 acres. It is believed to have started as a controlled burn that got out. Forestry was contacted to help contain the flames.
