Overnight House Fire In Byrneville May Have Been Arson
September 3, 2012
An early morning house fire Monday in Byrneville may have been the work of an arsonist.
Authorities are calling the fire in the 1200 block of Tedder Road suspicious, and it is under investigation by the Florida State Fire Marshal’s Office.
The residents had been away for several hours. When they returned to their two story home about 1 a.m., they found it full of smoke and called 911. When firefighters arrived, they found that a living room couch had been on fire and had been extinguished, and someone had tried to start a second fire in closet.
The home suffered heavy smoke damage throughout. Five people, two adults and three children, were left temporally homeless by the blaze.
The incident remains under investigation by the fire marshal and the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office. Further details have not been released.
The Century, McDavid, Walnut Hill and Molino stations of Escambia Fire Rescue, the Flomaton FIre Department and Escambia County EMS also responded to the blaze.

Praying for y’alls sweet family!
I didn’t read it the way the commentaters are saying…I read it like it was smoke damage..I didn’t see where it said it burned down….maybe I can’t read…
If it was arson i sure hope they can find out who set it…it is terrible to have 3 little boys who has lost everything they had over some stupidity. I hope our community can pull together and help get this family back as close to normal as possible and as soon as possible. That means they will need clothes, food, toys and other personal items. We r thinking about yall!
Could not imagine what this mom & dad are going through. Will be praying for the family.
