Molino Home Destroyed By Fire

April 24, 2009

No one was injured when a Molino home was completely destroyed by fire Friday morning.

The small brick home was fully involved when firefighters arrived on scene in the 5800 block of Pilgrim Trail West. Smoke from the fire could be seen in the calm blue skies Friday morning from nearly 10 miles away.

Firefighters did report the sound of gunshots when they arrived at the fire from ammunition in the home that was exploding.

There were no injuries reported. Officials say the homeowner apparently left the stove unattended in the home when she left for an appointment. She returned home about two hours later to find the fire department fighting the fire.

The homeowner was concerned about her dogs and horses, but we were told that they were all uninjured.

The Molino, McDavid, Century, Walnut Hill, Cantonment and Beulah stations of Escambia Fire-Rescue responded to the call.

    DeeDee,

    I am so sorry for your loss. I was quite shocked to hear about it when I got into work this a.m. If there is anything, and I mean anything that you need, please feel free to call me anytime you have the number. I have a fenced backyard if you need a place to keep your dogs.

    DeeDee,
    This is your cousin in Ohio. I am so sorry to hear about your home. I wish I knew what to say. I will keep your family in my prayers. I can think of hundreds of better ways to start communicating than this.

    Maybe we should not wait for them to ask for help. Maybe we should take things or money to them before they ask. Asking is a hard thing to do. They have lost everything so anything will help. God bless them.
