Santa Rosa Home Destroyed By Fire

December 28, 2011

A Tuesday afternoon residential fire in Pace represented the fifth candle to be extinguished on the “Keep Your Holidays Bright” fire safety tree in Santa Rosa County.

The fire at 1:43 p.m. on Timber Creek Drive reportedly started in a bedroom. There were no injuries were reported.

A family of four was displaced by the fire which caused an estimated $80,000-100,000 in damages to the home. The cause of the fire is thought to be a pinched electrical cord between a bed and the wall. Residents are reminded to not run electrical cords under a bed or trap them against a wall where heat can build up and cause a fire, according to Santa Rosa County officials.
