An observant passerby may have saved a Century home Saturday night.

Someone driving by a home in the 8000 block of North Century Boulevard noticed flames shooting out of a chimney and called 911. When firefighters arrived on scene, they confirmed that there was a chimney fire. It was quickly extinguished with no major damage reported to the home and no injuries.

The Century and McDavid Stations of Escambia Fire Rescue and the Flomaton Fire Department responded to the blaze about 8:30 Saturday night.
