Late Night Fire Destroys Two Story Molino House Under Construction
April 11, 2009
Fire completely destroyed a two story house under construction in Molino late Friday night
The fire in the 7000 block of Nicholson Drive was reported just before 11:00 p.m. The first firefighters on scene said that the structure was completely involved upon their arrival. The wood house, which was believed to be completely framed in with some walls and a roof, quickly collapsed onto its foundation.
Firefighters tell us that a house at the same location burned in a similar fashion in December 2005.
The house reportedly did not have electrical service, so an electrical fire was ruled out as a possible cause. The State Fire Marshal was called to the scene to investigate the cause of the fire.
The Molino, McDavid, Century, Cantonment and Walnut Hill stations of Escambia Fire Rescue responded to the blaze, along with Escambia County EMS.
There were no injuries reported.

Cha Ching,
I’ll say it then.
There is something very fishy here!!!
Yep, Anna. And, I feel sorry for these folks too.
About 11 o’clock I was crossing 29 on the way home. A fire rescue vehicle passed me in a hurry so I decided for some reason to fallow, not realize the seriousness I guess. I looked into the sky and you could see the glow for miles. As i got closer I realized just how big the fire was, but not until I passed right infront of the house did it really hit me. It was one of the most horrific sights ive ever seen and i pray that no one was hurt.
I think the first time this house burned it was ruled arson. Something about a teenage daughter that wasn’t allowed to see a young man anymore and the young man burned the house. I feel bad for these people.
Glad that none of the men were hurt. I’d love to hear a follow up of the state fire marshalls investigation on this. Not saying something is fishy here but…..hmmm.
Way to go William!!! I knew where to go for a first hand report. Keep up the good work.
