Fire damaged a wood shed on Wiggins Lake in Walnut Hill late Saturday night.

Fire units were called to 5100 block of Wiggins Lake Road about 10:50 Saturday night for a wood shed on fire. The homeowner told firefighters that children had been roasting marshmallows in the backyard near the shed prior to the fire. He had partially extinguished the fire with a garden hose before firemen arrived.

Most of the wood in one side of the double sided shed was damaged by the fire, as was the shed itself. No other structures were threatened, and there were no injuries.

The Walnut Hill Station of Escambia Fire-Rescue responded to the call.

    Chuck I think you may have made a point with W.H.V.F.D. They had on thier PPDs, but it doesn’t look like they vented.
