The Cantonment, Molino, McDavid and Ensley stations of Escambia Fire Rescue, Escambia County EMS and the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office responded to the fire.

I can tell you the past tenant move out 4 weeks ago. I’m sure one of the cusins know what happened…..
They need to look at clean sweep seems they know something
I would really check the past people thathave lived there.. Heard there was a lot of issues in that house… Could have been a “Cooking” fire, and I don’t mean food!!
Puddin,
Perhaps, but more than likely that wasn’t the cause………………..
So sorry Shelby. Glad no one was hurt.
Perhaps,,with nights getting colder, someone was trying to stay warm there?
It was really scary and sad because when I was about five years old, I had a friend that lived over there and it was just sad watching it be destroyed.
