Fire Destroys 3-Story Beach Home; Firefighters As Far North As Molino On Standby
January 10, 2010
[Updated With Photo Gallery] Firefighters as far north as Molino were put on alert Sunday morning as about five dozen firefighters responded as a three-story house was destroyed on Pensacola Beach.
The fire at 23 Calle Hermosa on Pensacola Beach was reported at about 9:15 a.m. More than dozen fire trucks from Escambia County, Santa Rosa County, Gulf Breeze and Navarre responded to the blaze. The three-story was reported to be fully involved after the first firefighters arrived.
The homeowner was reported to be treated for minor injuries.
Several Escambia Fire Rescue stations inland were put on standby — where firefighters respond to the station and standby for any possible call — to provide coverage for areas where firefighters and equipment had responded to Pensacola Beach. Some Cantonment firefighters were on standby at Ensley’s fire station to cover that area, while some Cantonment firefighters responded to the beach. Molino firefighters were on standby at their station all morning.

Update: I found them.. they are physically well but for some minor burns.
I’m a personal friend of theirs and was actually at their home last night until around 8PM… This is a total shock and I haven’t been able to reach either of them on their cell phones today.
Fire Sprinklers work well in homes! Please research and get the facts if you build a new home. I too, hope the owner is ok.
Oh this is terrible, To the family that loss their home in this fire; I am so sorry… I do hope the homeowner will be alright from their injuries…
