Alabama Governor Kay Ivey granted an honor for a Scottsboro firefighter who died on Friday.
In a letter to Scottsboro Mayor Jim McCamy, she authorized flags to be flown at half-staff in honor of Steven Dawson Beaird. He was only 34-years-old when he died.

He also worked as an Advanced Emergency Medical Technician.
Flags in Scottsboro can be "flown at half-staff on the day of his internment on Monday, November 23, 2020 until sunset."
