Firefighters Battle Molino Woods Fire

February 24, 2011

Firefighters battled a woods fire in Molino Wednesday night.

The fire was reported about 6:30 in the 5800 block of Pilgrim Trail West (commonly called “the second” Pilgrim Trail West). No structures were damaged by the blaze. A resident was not at home as the fire burned near their home, but a neighbor was able to put out the fire closest to the brick home using a garden hose.

The two-acre fire was reported to be contained by about 7:30 p.m.

The Molino and Walnut Hill stations of Escambia Fire Rescue and the Florida Division of Forestry responded to the fire.

    I LIVE ON the SECOND PILGRIM TRAIL WEST.
    We smelled something when we came home last night.
    Hubby thought someone was burning again. I don’t understand WHY
    people burn at night anyway.
