Student, Counselor Rescued In Morning School Fire Drill
October 14, 2008
Emergency officials from across Flomaton and Century responded to Flomaton Elementary School this morning for a disaster drill.
Flomaton Fire Chief Steve Stanton said the mock disaster scenario involved a fire at Flomaton Elementary School and the rescue of two trapped victims. The drill was a successful learning experience, Stanton said.
NorthEscambia.com will have a complete story, photo gallery and video posted Wednesday morning.
The response was originally planned last week as part of a fire drill for Fire Prevention Week, but postponed due to rain last Tuesday.
The Flomaton Fire Department, Flomaton Police Department, Escambia County (FL) Fire-Rescue Century Station, Escambia County (FL) EMS, Friendship Volunteer Fire Department and other emergency agencies responded to the school following a 911 call about 9:30 this morning.
