Walnut Hill: Abandoned House Burns, Threatens Two Trailers (Updated With Photo Gallery)
July 13, 2009
An abandoned house on Juniper Street in Walnut Hill burned Monday afternoon, threatening two nearby mobile homes.
The house was already on the ground before the fire, according to neighbors, who said it was destroyed years ago by a hurricane. Firefighters said it appeared someone tried to burn the pile of debris, and the fire quickly got out of hand. It threatened two nearby mobile homes, melting the vinyl siding off the front of one home.
The fire, which was reported about 1:00 Monday afternoon, was reported under control at 1:50.
There were no injuries reported.
The Walnut Hill, McDavid, Molino, and Century Stations, Engine 519 and Engine 1819 from Escambia Fire Rescue responded to the blaze. The State Fire Marshal and Atmore Ambulance were also called to the scene.

Another “Here’s your sign,” as it appears that this fire was going to be a spectator’s event. Just look at the folding chairs in the ready position!
