Early Morning Fire Leaves Flomaton Family Of Four Homeless

December 20, 2011

A family of four was able to escape an early Tuesday morning house fire in Flomaton without injuries.

The fire on Roosevelt Street just east of Flomaton High School was reported about 12:30 a.m.  The fire, which appeared to originate in the rear of the home, was quickly knocked down by firefighters. A family dog in the home did not survive.

The exact cause of the fire remains under investigation.

The Flomaton, Friendship and Lambeth fire departments, along with the Century Station of Escambia Fire Rescue and Escambia County EMS responded to the blaze.
