Large Brush Fire Destroys Area Mobile Home

What firefighters believe began as a brush fire in the Quintette area Saturday afternoon destroyed a mobile home.

The mobile home had been completely destroyed by fire when the first firefighters arrived on scene. The mobile home had been empty since it was damaged by Hurricane Ivan.

Firefighters from multiple departments responded to the fire about noon Saturday off Rocky Branch Road, north of Quintette Road.

The mobile home was located on a dirt road about two miles off Quintette Road in a very isolated area.

The fire also burned several vehicles and about 15 acres of wooded area. Trains on a nearby track were also stopped for a short time due to the fire.

Fire units from Molino, Cantonment, Ensley, Beulah and Pace responded to the fire along with Escambia County EMS, the State Fire Marshal and the Florida Division of Forestry.

There were no injuries reported.

Most fire units were complete by 2:30 Saturday afternoon.
