On Sunday morning, a massive fire broke out in Greenville, Alabama, destroying the building that housed the Butler County Health Department and EMA office. The incident took place on Airport Road at around 3:30 a.m., with the building fully engulfed in flames by the time emergency crews arrived on the scene. Despite their best efforts to contain the fire, it was ultimately declared a total loss.
Thankfully, no one was inside the building at the time of the fire, and no injuries were reported. While the exact cause of the fire remains unknown, authorities do not suspect arson as a contributing factor. The Alabama Department of Public Health (ADPH) staff is currently working to secure a temporary space to continue providing health services to the people of Butler County.
In the meantime, residents are encouraged to reach out to their neighboring Crenshaw County Health Department or other nearby locations for any necessary services. The ADPH website provides detailed contact information and operating hours for all county health department locations. As investigations into the fire continue, it’s important for everyone to stay informed by visiting WDHN’s website for updates on news, weather reports, sports coverage and streaming video content.
