Fire Destroys Molino Barn
September 15, 2011
Fire destroyed a large barn in Molino Thursday afternoon.
The fire was reported about 3 pm. in the 10000 block on Pilgrim Trail. The barn was full engulfed when the first firefighters arrived on scene. The 30 by 40 foot barn contained a large amount of hay, which took about three hours to extinguish.
The barn was located down a long drive behind a residence. The residence was not threatened by the blaze, but firefighters worked to prevent a second barn and a wooded area from burning.
There were no injuries reported. The cause of the blaze was not immediately known.
The Molino, McDavid, Walnut Hill, Cantonment and Century stations of Escambia Fire Rescue responded to the blaze, along with Escambia County EMS. The Ensley Station of Escambia Fire Rescue moved their engine to Molino while the Flomaton Volunteer Fire Department stood by in the Century to handle any additional calls in North Escambia.

To “thankful and concerned”
“…Owners–Did you need the hay for horses or other animals? I know people would help replace it if you needed…”
Fortunately, this was a good year for hay, so we can get more before winter arrives and we have to start feeding. You’re right, the good folks around here are always anxious to help when there’s a need. It looks like we’ll be OK since winter feeding is still a couple months away. We do appreciate your concern and the many offers of help we’ve received already. Nice to know people care.
PS
We threw some of the soggy, toasted hay over to the cows and they loved it
I’m thankful for all the responders and that the your loss wasn’t worse. Owners–Did you need the hay for horses or other animals? I know people would help replace it if you needed. God Bless.
I’m sorry for your loss, but thankful there were no injuries or deaths. Firefighters and emergency response people are amazing with their extensive skills they are ready to use during any crisis while often putting themselves in harm’s way. Their programs are often underfunded and they sometimes have second-hand or old personal protective gear and ancient fire trucks, yet they are the first ones there when fires and other emergencies happen. May God bless our First Responders and keep them safe!!!
I’m so glad there were no injuries or other structural losses. My prayers for your recovery time
Amen.
We are deeply grateful for the outstanding work of all those who responded to the fire today. They were well trained and very professional. We praise God that there are men and women who are willing to do the hot and dangerous work of firefighting for those of us who are completely helpless without them.
God was merciful and nothing was lost that can’t be replaced. We weren’t able to thank each one that responded, individually, so we want to offer our deepest thanks to each and every one that came to our aid. It was a comfort to know that in our crisis we were in good hands. God bless you all!
