Firefighters Respond To Cotton Trash Fire At Gin Company
November 22, 2016
Fire departments from across the area responded to the West Florida Gin on Meadows Road in Davisville Tuesday morning.
A small fire was smoldering in cotton “trash”, a by-product of the cleaning and ginning process. Such fires often happen a few times each year.
There was no damage to the structures in the facility and no injuries reported.
The Walnut Hill, McDavid and Century stations of Escambia Fire Rescue, the Atmore Fire Department and the Nokomis (AL) Volunteer Fire Department were among those dispatched to the cotton gin.
