On Sunday, June 28, 2026, at approximately 11:00 p.m., the Flint City Volunteer Fire Department was dispatched to a reported residential fire involving a pole barn, a camper, and several recreational vehicles in the 2000 block of Roberts Catfish Lane. Initial reports indicated the fire was also spreading into a nearby wooded area. Due to the nature of the incident, mutual aid was immediately requested, and the Priceville Volunteer Fire Department and Hartselle Fire & Rescue were dispatched to assist.
Upon arrival, Flint City VFD crews joined Hartselle Fire & Rescue, who had already begun fire suppression efforts and had successfully contained the fire to the pole barn and its contents. Flint City firefighters immediately assisted with extinguishment and overhaul operations. Together, crews brought the fire under control, and Flint City VFD remained on scene for several hours extinguishing hotspots to ensure the fire was fully extinguished.
Although the pole barn and all of its contents were a total loss, we are thankful to report that the camper was unoccupied and no injuries occurred as a result of the fire.
The Flint City Volunteer Fire Department would like to thank Hartselle Fire & Rescue, the Priceville Volunteer Fire Department, and all responding agencies for their quick response, teamwork, and assistance during this incident.
