Fire Destroys Cantonment Mobile Home
July 30, 2012
A family was left homeless after fire destroyed a mobile home in Cantonment Sunday afternoon.
Firefighters were called to the double-wide trailer in the 700 block of Robinson Street about 4:30 p.m. They arrived to discover that the mobile home on the narrow dirt lane had already burned to the ground before the fire was reported.
There were no injuries reported.
The cause of the blaze is under investigation by the Florida State Fire Marshal’s Office. The Cantonment, Molino, Beulah and Ensley stations of Escambia Fire Rescue responded to the blaze, along with Escambia County EMS.
The American Red Cross was called to provide temporary assistance to those left homeless by the fire.

I am the queen of my double wide!! Bought it brand new in 1994 & it has a lot of burn marks in the carpet from my stupid self falling asleep w/a cig. I dont do that anymore because yes I am lucky to have not burned down the house . Mobile Homes do burn very fast ! This says it was burned to the ground BEFORE being reported..something is a lil fishy here
This is why I will never be the queen of a doublewide. Those things burn like they are made of gasoline !
Trailers can burn really quick. If there was a window open and the fire burned through the floor, then the trailer with that chimney effect, turns in to like a coffee can being used to start charcoal as the fire gets pulled toward the window with fresh air coming in from the floor.
