A Haleyville police officer on patrol reported an abandoned house fire on Beech Grove Road around 11 p.m. on Wednesday night. Even though Haleyville firemen responded quickly, the house was a complete loss. The cause of the fire is unknown, but because it was an abandoned house, the fire appeared to have been set intentionally. A rain shower shortly before the discovery kept the fire from spreading into the wooded area around the house.

The Haleyville Board of Education met Tuesday and approved the 2016-17 student enrollment procedures. The October board expenditures were approved in the amount of $1,338,198.60 and a Public Works Project for HVAC at the Haleyville Elementary School for 18 mini-splits in the amount of $36,418.00. Two different uses of the school facilities, one field trip, and one fundraiser were approved.
