Unattended Generator Sparks Mobile Home Fire
May 15, 2010
An unattended generator caused a minor mobile home fire Friday afternoon on North Canoe Road, just off North Century Boulevard.
A small fire was reported about 2:10 p.m. in the outside wall of a double wide mobile home that was being installed. The fire was quickly extinguished when the first firefighters arrived on scene.
Authorities said a man working on the home was using a generator very near an outside wall. The man reportedly left the generator running while he went to a nearby store. The exhaust from the generator melted the home’s vinyl siding and started the minor fire.
There were no injuries and no major damage to the unoccupied home.
The Century, McDavid, Molino and Walnut Hill stations of Escambia Fire Rescue and the Flomaton Fire Department were dispatched to the incident.

somebody else was paying the bills, I imagine
Oh my goodness! Why in the world would some one leave a generator running, while leaving? Thank goodness there were no injuries to anyone other than someones poor home…
