Fire At Hadji Shrine Temple On Nine Mile Causes Minor Damage
June 29, 2013
There was no major damage reported from a fire at the Hadji Shrine Temple on Nine Mile Road early this morning.
The fire was reportedly contained to a transformer unit outside the building, but a portion of the building did fill with smoke. There were no injuries during the fire, which was reported just before 3 a.m.
Fire stations from across the county responded to the two-alarm incident, including Ensley, Beulah, Ferry Pass, Myrtle Grove, Osceola, Cantonment and Molino. Escambia County EMS and the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office also responded.
The Hadji Shrine Temple is home to the Pensacola Shriners. The 54,000 square foot, two-story building was constructed in 1969.

Hadji will recover from this setback. It has caused a loss of income on several levels,We will continue to provide the best treatment and transportation for crippled children possible. Just like the burned children our hospitals treat, We too will rise again.
Good job! You all saved a historical icon. The Hadji means so much to so many! Thank you!!!
