Fire Rips Through Molino Mobile Home; Woman, 84, Sent To Hospital

April 27, 2012

An 84-year old woman was transported to an area hospital following a Thursday afternoon fire near Molino.

Fire ripped through the roof of the home, causing extensive roof and smoke damage to the double wide mobile home in the 4000 block of White Ash Road just after 4 p.m.

A female occupant was able to escape the fire, which appeared to start in the kitchen of the home. She was transported by Escambia County EMS to Atmore Community Hospital with breathing difficulties, possible due to an underlying medical condition aggravated by the fire, authorities said.

The exact cause of the blaze is under investigation by the Florida State Fire Marshal’s Office.

The Molino, Century, McDavid and Walnut Hill stations of Escambia Fire Rescue responded to the fire.

    Thank you to all the fire dept. that responding to this fire in such a timely manner. This is our neighbors and from the time of our call to 911 the first fire truck rolled in within 8 minutes. And “Grandma Smith” is doing better at USA in Mobile. Thank you God. Continue to pray for this family.
