Pensacola Woman Set On Fire; Deputies Seek Attacker

March 25, 2010

Authorities are looking for clues after someone set fire to a Pensacola woman Wednesday night.

The 19-year old female suffered extensive second and third-degree burns over a large area of her body, according to Escambia County Sheriff’s Office. She was transferred to the burn unit at the University of South Alabama Medical Center in Mobile where she is listed in critical condition.

The Sheriff’s Office responded to the area of Lepley Road in the Ensley community for a domestic disturbance. They found that the 19-year old had been set on fire and severely burned.

She “was able to provide information that the burns to her were done intentionally and an accelerant was used. Investigators are still actively working the case and are not releasing any suspect information at this time,” according to Sgt. Ted Roy, spokesperson for the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office.

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office at (850) 436-9630.
