Fire Heavily Damages Nokomis Road Home

July 28, 2014

Lightning may have been responsible for a fire that heavily damaged a home near Davisville Monday afternoon.

Heavy smoke was visible from around the roof of the single story brick home on the corner of Nokomis Road and Rockaway Creek Road when the first firefighters arrived on scene. The fire was spotted and reported by passers-by who rescued the family dogs. There was no one at home at the time of the blaze and no injuries reported.

A thunderstorm with frequent lightning was moving through the area at the time of the fire. The exact cause of the blaze is under investigation by the Florida State Fire Marshal’s Office.

The Walnut Hill, McDavid and Century stations of Escambia Fire Rescue, the Atmore Fire Department and Atmore Ambulance responded to the fire.
