Fire Damages Atmore Home

July 9, 2012

Fire and smoke heavily damaged a home in Atmore Monday morning, displacing a family. It was the third house fire in Atmore within the past week, including a fire July 3 that killed a preteen girl.

Monday morning’s fire was reported just after 10 a.m. in the 100 block of Short Street, just off Jack Springs Road. The fire heavily damaged the interior of the concrete block home.

There was no immediate word of any injuries, and the cause of the fire remains under investigation.

The Atmore, Poarch and Nokomis fire departments responded to the blaze.

    Sounds like Atmore may have a serial arsonist…I mean what are the odds? Something is always burning up over there.

    Boy! This is too many for us! I’m keeping my fire extinguishes handy. The whole country is having a bit of bad luck. But I’d rather be without electricity than have my house burn.
    Prayers for all the families who have had losses.
