Several Fire Departments Respond To Bratt Elementary School
September 18, 2008
Several area fire departments responded to Bratt Elementary School early Wednesday afternoon.
When firefighters arrived, they found the smell of smoke in a building at the rear of the school known as the “third grade building” that contains several classrooms and the school’s art and music programs.
Firefighters were unable to locate a fire after a thorough search of the building using a thermal imaging camera. It is believed the source of the smoke was dust burning inside a heating unit that had been remotely started for testing from a school district office in Pensacola.
The Walnut Hill Volunteer Department, Century Volunteer Fire Department, McDavid Volunteer Fire Department, Molino Volunteer Fire Department, Atmore Ambulance and the Escambia County Sheriff’s Department all responded to the call.

Thank yous to all the dedicated emergency teams who responded. I never attended bratt as a student but was there a couple summers doing crafts with my late uncle “coach” Wayne McKay. Thanks again and keep up the great work you do!
