MONTGOMERY — Gov. Robert Bentley and Interim State Forester Gary Cole on Monday rescinded the statewide Drought Emergency ‘No Burn’ Order, which has been in effect since early November.
Officials with the Alabama Forestry Commission (AFC) say the state has received enough rainfall over the last few days to reduce the threat of dangerous wildfires.
