One person was killed as fire destroyed their home near Beulah early this morning.

The cause of the fire is under investigation by the Florida State Fire Marshal’s Office. The victim was identified by neighbors as Mary Jean Adkison, a longtime resident.
The Bellview, Beulah, Ensley and Osceola stations of Escambia Fire Rescue, Escambia County EMS and the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office responded to the blaze.

Horrible. It just seems as thought we have had a rash of these home fires lately.
Prayers for Ms Adkison’s family.
