Monday Was Busy Brush Fire Day In North Escambia
November 24, 2008
Fire departments from across North Escambia responded to a brush fire on Pine Barren Road just after noon Monday, and by mid-afternoon several North Escambia departments were called to assist with a brush fire in Cantonment.
In the Pine Barren Road incident, the fire was partially in a heavily wooded area, and it required a bulldozer from the Florida Division of Forestry to reach it and plow a fire line around it. The fire was reported to be about five acres. One structure was threatened, but firefighters were able to quickly extinguish the fire around the building.
The Walnut Hill, McDavid, Century and Molino stations of Escambia Fire-Rescue responded to the fire, along with the Florida Division of Forestry.
In the Cantonment fire, about five acres were reported to be burning about 2:45 Monday afternoon on New Haven Drive off Chemstrand Road near Solutia. Units on scene reported several explosions, possibly from tires. There were several related vehicle fires reported, including an 18-wheeler loaded with tires. The fire was declared under control at 3:45.
Units from Cantonment, Molino, McDavid, Beulah and Ensley were among the departments responding to the New Haven Drive fire. The Walnut Hill station was dispatched to Molino to standby in that area.
Shortly after the Pine Barren Road fire ,the Walnut Hill station also responded to a small fire on Corley Road near the railroad tracks in Walnut Hill.
