North Escambia fire departments were busy Monday afternoon, with many responding to three back to back calls.

A single wide mobile home near Bratt sustained minor damage about 3:00 Monday afternoon. Preliminary reports from the scene indicated that a trash fire outside the mobile home caused the fire inside the structure. The exact cause was still under investigation.

Fire departments from Walnut Hill, Atmore, Century, McDavid and Molino responded to the home, which was located on Rigby Road just south of Mill Pond Road. There were no injuries reported.

Just before 2:00, firefighters from Walnut Hill, Century, Flomaton and the Division of Forestry were dispatched to a brush fire near Highway 168 and Raines Road.

Local fire departments also battled a brush fire between Upton Road and Salters Lake Road Monday afternoon. The fire was reported to be contained about 1:45 Monday afternoon. Firefighters from Century, McDavid, Flomaton and the Florida Division of Forestry battled the blaze.
