VIDEO: Single red flags were posted along Alabama beaches. This, after four straight days of double red flag conditions where no swimming was allowed. The surf had calmed considerably, but there was still a high risk of rip currents. Volunteers with Fort Morgan Fire Rescue spent the day patrolling the beaches and warning people of those risks.
“We still have high rip currents today, so you guys be careful. If you go in the water, don’t go out deep,” a volunteer said to a visiting family.
For the fifth day in a row, Fort Morgan Fire Rescue volunteers hit the beach hoping to keep people safe. Warning signs along Fort Morgan Road continued to flash with high rip current risk warnings.
