Family Homeless After Century Fire
March 13, 2016
A Century family was left without a home following a house fire Saturday afternoon.
The house in the 300 block of Backwoods Road, just off Highway 4A, was left unlivable by the blaze. The American Red Cross was called to assist the occupant and a child with temporary housing.
Neighbors had reportedly broken back windows on the home and pulled a garden house inside in an attempt to knock down the fire before firefighters arrived and quickly extinguished the blaze. There were no injuries reported.
The exact case of the blaze was not immediately known.
The Century, McDavid and Walnut Hill stations of Escambia Fire Rescue, the Jay Fire Department and the Flomaton Fire Department were dispatched to the fire, along with Escambia County EMS and the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office.

Thanks Melissa, will do.
You can drop it off at Abundant Life Church in Century and let them know its for the fire victims
Great I have a tote of clothes that will probably fit him if he needs them. Any idea where I can take them?
The child is a boy he probably wears a 4T or one size bigger thank u for your concerns and help
OK, thanks william. If anyone knows anything that can be shared, please speak up. I have a huge pile of stuff I was giving to the thrift store. Someone would need to pick it up, but sheets and blankets and a huge tote of boys clothes 4-6 plus a bunch of other stuff.
>>Age/size/sex of the child? What do they need?
Fire victims are helped for a few days by the American Red Cross and sometimes the local VFD. The Red Cross unfortunately does not let the media know that the victim was (just an example only) a four-year old girls in size 6X and where to drop off items for the family.
