Five Homeless After Cantonment Mobile Home Fire
March 27, 2013
Fire heavily damaged a mobile home in Cantonment this morning, leaving three adults and two children — ages 3 and 9 — homeless.
The fire was reported about 7:20 a.m. in the 100 block of San Carlos Road. Heavy fire was showing from one corner of the double-wide mobile home as firefighters began their assault.
Firefighters were slightly hampered in fighting the fire by a lack of a nearby hydrant, and because the mobile home was located down a long driveway. Fire crews used water from their fire engines and shuttled additional water supply using tanker trucks.
It took just over 10 minutes to knock down the fire.
There were no injuries reported, but a family dog did perish in the blaze.
The cause of the fire is under investigation by the Florida State Fire Marshal’s Office.
The Cantonment, Molino, Ensley, McDavid and Beulah stations of Escambia Fire Rescue and Escambia County EMS also responded to the fire.

I have known Josh and holli for a very long time and I’m so sorry to gear about y’all house an y’all poor little puppy… Please let us know what y’all need ? Yall have always been there for us !
By all means Ashley. Please post what the family needs. Do they have a place to stay for now?
I told Josh and Holli earlier that it’s horrible that it happened but they got out safe and they are very blessed that the kids were not home. Even when bad things happen you still gotta thank God and count your blessings.
Heartbreaking! The Fire Fighters did a great job to have that much trailer left, with having water access problems.
Trailers can go up really quick once the floor burns through and a chimney effect develops. Scary stuff.
I’m beyond blessed my family is okay & that the girls was not home!
Lindsay, I will comment back later about donations & sizes!
Please keep them in your prayers!
Hi, does anyone know of any way to donate clothing and other needed items to this family?
Quick reporting William. I was wondering what was going on with all the sirens this morning. I am glad the family escaped without injury.
