This was the former Albright Supply building. At the time of the fire the building was home to Gus' Paint and Salvage, The Berry Patch warehouse and an Industrial Cleaning company warehouse. The building was fully involved upon arrival and took several hours to bring under control using multiple hand lines and master streams. Haleyville Fire/Rescue was assisted by Ashridge, Bear Creek, Delmar, Lynn, Pebble, and Sunny Home Fire Departments.

Members of the Haleyville and Delmar Fire Departments are shown here in a training drill using air bags and other extrication equipment that would be used in the event of a person becoming trapped underneath a vehicle. The vehicle and "patient" were placed in different positions to give firefighters several challenging scenerios to practice in vehicle stabilization and patient extrication. Special thanks to Bridges Wrecker Service for use of the vehicle.

In preparation of the new ladder truck arriving in the next few weeks, Haleyville firefighters Dean Morgan and Craig Thomas attended a 5 day class at the Alabama Fire College in Tuscaloosa from September 20-24, 2004 to become certified as Aerial Apparatus Operators. This course taught firefighters how to properly stabilize, position and operate aerial(ladder truck) devices in several different situations such as: Rescue, Exposure Protection, Ventilation, and Fire Attack. Firefighters were also instructed in how to properly test and maintain aerial devices. The class was taught by Btn. Chief Kenneth Ray of the Bessemer Fire Department and was attended by 29 firefighters from 19 Alabama and Florida Departments.
