Flint City Volunteer Fire Department Responds to Late-Night Structure Fire
Decatur, AL – June 17, 2026
On June 16, 2026, at approximately 11:15 p.m., Flint City Volunteer Fire Department, along with Decatur Fire & Rescue, was dispatched to the 300 block of Deere Springs Road for a reported residential fire involving a utility shed.
Flint City VFD responded with Tanker 1 and Truck 2. Upon arrival, firefighters located a utility shed situated up a steep driveway that was already fully involved and had collapsed to the ground.
Due to the challenging terrain and limited access to the fire scene, only brush trucks were able to reach the structure. Additional assistance was requested, and Oak Ridge Volunteer Fire Department, as well as Neel VFD & Punkin Center VFD responded to provide mutual aid.
Firefighters from all responding agencies worked diligently for several hours to extinguish the fire and fully extinguish hot spots within the remaining debris.
While the utility shed was determined to be a total loss, we are thankful to report that no injuries occurred as a result of the incident.
Flint City Volunteer Fire Department would like to thank Decatur Fire & Rescue and Oak Ridge Volunteer Fire Department for their assistance and partnership during this response.
