The Alabama Forestry Commission provides
an arson/forest crimes hotline so that
citizens can call and report:
- Suspicious activity in areas where wildfires have occurred
- Theft of timber
- Theft or vandalism of timber harvesting equipment
The toll-free number is 1-800-222-2927. Information
provided is confidential and you will remain anonymous.
The AFC’s Law Enforcement program is committed to reducing the number of
wildland crimes committed against landowners and the timber industry each
year. These crimes generate annual losses of hundreds of thousands of
dollars to landowners and the timber industry through thefts of timber,
wildland fires, and the theft or vandalism of timber harvesting equipment.
Arson is the leading cause of wildland fires in Alabama.
