Molino House Fire Believed To Be Arson (With Photo Gallery)
October 6, 2010
[Updated] Fire destroyed an abandoned brick home in Molino Tuesday evening, and the State Fire Marshal’s Office believes the blaze was the work of an arsonist.
The fire was reported in the 3500 block of Molino Road just after 6 p.m., and the fire was reported to be contained about 6:45 p.m. There were no injuries reported.
According to Lt. Kevin Fiedor with the State Fire Marshal’s Office, the home was in foreclosure and had no power and no gas. He said the fire appeared to have started in the rear of the home.
“We believe at this time that it was arson,” Fiedor said. He estimated damage to the home to be about $65,000. Anyone with information about the fire is asked to call the State Fire Marshal’s Office at (850) 453-7803.
The Molino, Cantonment, McDavid, Century, Walnut Hill and Beulah stations of Escambia Fire Rescue responded to the blaze.
Some of the fire units were on scene until about 11 p.m. Tuesday.

To clear the air, a member of our family owned this property. The elderly couple had passed away some time ago. To the best of our understanding, the house had been foreclosed on & it’s possible the son was still living on the family land. There were no utilities on at the house since it had been foreclosed on. No one was injured. Arson? We’ll let the investigators determine that.
Whats sad is if it was a eldery man home why has someone not try to help him. Young people that are able to work get free food free insurance free free free but the goverment turns their back on the people they should be helping. It make me sick.
OMG, all you people, com’on there are school employees that were this peoples neighbor’s but they are so into themselves they care nothin but talking bout how much this NEIGHBOR was not right, than possibly informing the right personal of what is going on. This could have been avoided. HELLO!!!
Well I do know the animals were being taken care of. You people here really need to mind your own business. You can tell you know nothing about the people that lived there as others in town did. Just so ya know now ya’ll get some lives and other things to do .
good point mary, maybe someone was squatting there? there sure have been a lot of house fires in this area lately. maybe we will get some rain soon and that might help things a bit?
P.S. I am on medications but watch out..I dont want my house burned down!!!
who said there was an “unstable” person there? the property has been empty for quite awhile. I live on Sunshine Hill Rd & go past that house daily..yeah an elderly man use to live there. So some1 could have saved the animals…& what was the “actual cause” of the fire..could some1 have been staying there????
so, what your saying is, if anyone went to check on the animals, then who ever burned this house down would burn ours and yours down too?
what?
AHHHHHH UR WELCOME TO GO SAVE THEM, U NEED DIRECTIONS?
SWEET” CHRISSY” UR AWESOME!! WE ARE GLAD U DON’T LIVE NEAR US EITHER B-CUZ WE MAY NOT HAVE A HOUSE TO LIVE IN IF YOU DID!! THANKS FOR STEPPING OUT OF OUR HIGH SCHOOL DRAMA, YOUR THE BEST!!! LMBO
JUST SOMEONE PLEASE SAVE THE ANIMALS! THINK OF THE ANIMALS! WON’T ANYONE THINK OF THE ANIMALLLLLLLLS????????????????????????
ok, i’ll let yall get back to your high school drama. I’m just hoping the animals are alright. I’m glad I don’t live near any of you.
lmbo.
If you only knew what you were talking about “chrissy”. & who cares if your name is in quotations. Geez!!!
To all parties involved, people don’t need to test an unstable person, thats a good way to have your house burnt down. This crazy unstable person has almost burnt the neighbors homes around him numerous times. It was just a matter of time before he did something like this!! As far as the animals, thats just wrong to leave them like that, and if anyone is that concerned about them go check on them your self I’m sure the people that live around him won’t because they don’t want their homes burnt down. Or call the animal control give your name and make sure to give your address so he can come see u!!! I’m just say!!!! Geezzzz
wondering why you put my name in quotation marks, like it’s allegedly my name. lol.
i’m just sayin’…. if someone knew there were animals there not being taking care of, why not do something about it? unstable persons property? if they don’t live there, which they obviously don’t, then who cares? go over there and check on the animals!
ok, whatever, not trying to get in one of these famous north escambia news fights, just hoping the animals are alright, animals have rights too and it’s time they were recognized.
geez.
well “chrissy” when you have animals on an unstable persons property, you don’t just trepass & go check on them, that could be very dangerous… but i’m sure it will all be taken care of now that the authorities are in the picture, and probably discovered all the animals last night.
got ya :
if you knew there were animals there not being taken care of, why didn’t you stop by to check on them or just call animal control or someone who could help? i don’t get it.
I hope they are alright, and it’s sad that someone would burn this house down. wonder why they did it.
Maybe Animal Control will come & save all those animals that are pinned behind this house in the woods! I hope the fire didn’t hurt any of them! All utilities have been cut off in this house for quite sometime, so I know they were not being taken care of properly!
