State Line Mobile Home Fire Likely Work Of An Arsonist

July 11, 2016

A late Sunday night mobile home fire just north of the Alabama/Florida state line is being investigated as arson.

Flomaton Fire Chief Steve Stanton said a larger model truck, possible a Ford F250 or F350 was seen driving away from the unoccupied mobile home on Old Fannie Road near Welka Road as flames erupted just after 10 p.m. The mobile home, Stanton said, had been empty since it was damaged in a tornado on February 15.

Stanton said the Alabama State Fire Marshal’s Office will investigate the exact origin of the fire.

There were no injuries reported.

The Flomaton, Friendship and Lambeth volunteer fire departments from Alabama and the Century Station of Escambia Fire Rescue responded to the blaze, along with Escambia County (FL) EMS.
