Birmingham Mayor William Bell knows all too well what tornadoes can do after April 27th and today he said he's ready to help.
Today at the Birmingham City Council meeting, Bell said the city's fire department still has units in Clay and Trussville helping with the recovery there.
Bell also says the city's traffic engineering department is helping to remove and replace damaged traffic lights and signs in the Winewood Road area near Center Point.
Bell says he's willing to do more because of the help his city received after April 27th.
“I encourage my fellow mayors to call me with any needs they may have,” Bell said. “We believe in neighbor helping neighbor and after April 27th, we had so many of our surrounding muncipalities come to the aid of the city of Birmingham. So we want to return the support that was given to us.”
Mayor Bell also said Birmingham's planning and permits team will be out in the coming days helping to speed up the process of rebuilding.
