No Injuries As Fire Destroys Home On State Line Road (With Photo Gallery)

September 19, 2011

Fire completely destroyed a home on State Line Road in Flomaton Monday night.

The elderly male occupant of the home and was able to escape uninjured with his cat; his wife out of town at the time of the blaze.

The brick home at 1721 State Line Road, which runs along the border between Flomaton and Century, was fully involved when the first firefighters arrived on scene about 7:45 p.m. Flames were shooting 30 feet in the air as firefighters began their attack on the blaze. There was no immediate word on the cause of the fire.

The fire was directly across State Line Road from Shady Lane in Century, just west of the Flomaton Funeral Home. Multiple fire departments from across the area responded to the blaze, including Flomaton, Friendship, Century, McDavid, Molino, Walnut Hill and Jay.
