Six Homeless After Halfway House Destroyed By Fire

January 12, 2015

An Escambia County halfway house was heavily damaged by fire Sunday afternoon.

The fire was reported just after noon in the 7300 block of Pine Forest Road, near Five Flags Speedway. Six adults were displaced by the fire, but there were no injuries reported.

A majority of the fire damage was contained to the garage area of the home; two vehicles were also destroyed by the fire.

The cause of the blaze is under investigation by the Florida State Fire Marshal’s Office.

The Ensley, Osceola, Bellview, Brent, Warrington and Beulah stations of the Escambia Fire Rescue battled the blaze, along with the Pensacola Naval Air Station Fire Department.

    Wow, that looks like a fire demon or a fallen angel looking out from the pit that Michael threw them into.

    Just saw the angry face. Very creepy. I would not have noticed that if you hadnt pointed it out. Yeah, I am so sorry for the loss of the home.

    Chrissy – very observant and spooky angry face in the flames of that top picture. Took us a few minutes to figure out what you were talking about and then it became very clear…..spooky!

    So sorry for all the loss here.

    I’m so sorry for those that lost their home & belongings, but the bigger issue seems to be that there is a very angry face in the flames of that top picture.
    (look at the driver’s side front tire).
