Friday Night Mobile Home Fire Was Arson

June 11, 2011

The search is on for an arsonist after a Friday night mobile home fire in Century.

Area fire departments responded to the blaze at an abandoned mobile home on Hilltop Road, just west of North Century Boulevard. When they arrived, they found a small fire in a bedroom of the double-wide mobile home. The fire was quickly put out using just a fire extinguisher; damage to the home was minimal.

Authorities said the fire was intentionally set near a broken bedroom window. They also discovered that items and copper wiring had been removed from the home, but it was not clear when the items were removed.

The blaze is under investigation by the Florida State Fire Marshal’s Office and the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office.
