A brush fire in Molino kept fire crews busy for hours Tuesday night.
The fire was reported about 7:45 on Molino Road near Four Star Farm Road, about two miles west of Highway 29. Units from the Molino Station of Escambia Fire-Rescue and a bulldozer from the Florida Division of Forestry spent about an hour attempting to bring the fire under control. The fire was declared under control at 8:42 p.m. Forestry and Molino firefighters finished a plowed barrier around the fire by about 9:17. Fire units remained on scene until 10:00 Tuesday night
Authorities say smoke could remain in the area through early Wednesday morning hours as the fire continues to smolder.
The fire was in a remote area with no easy access; fire units were delayed while attempting to find a way to reach the fire.
