Smell Of Smoke Prompts Store Evacuation
July 3, 2012
The Davisville Family Dollar was evacuated and temporarily closed this afternoon due to the smell of smoke.
Employees of the store at 11200 Highway 97, near the Alabama state line, reported an electrical burning smell inside the building about 3:40 p.m. Firefighters determined the source of the smell to be an overheated computer battery backup system that was plugged up but not in use.
The store reopened for business a short time later.
The Walnut Hill Station of Escambia Fire Rescue and the Atmore Fire Department responded to the call.
