Out Of Control Backyard Fire Levels Storage Shed
November 6, 2016
A backyard burn barrel fire got out of control Saturday afternoon in Century and leveled a storage shed before firefighters arrived.
The first fire fighters on scene at the fire in the 800 block of East Highway 4 reported the shed was fully involved and on the ground when they arrived moments after the first call for help.
There were no injuries and no damage to a nearby home or business.
The Century and McDavid stations of Escambia Fire Rescue, Flomaton Fire Department, Atmore Fire Department and Jay Fire Department were all dispatched to the fire, along with Escambia County EMS.

Usually I try to be nice but that was just stupidity in my opinion. I have also seen people throw out lit cigarette butts from cars.
I had an adult water moccasin in my yard under a hose reel and I am no where near a pond. Snake migration. Drought!!!!!
Beware please. I wrote the county commisioner and asked them to enact a burn ban
Seems like they should have already done that. People should be fined if that’s what it takes.
NO EXCUSES!!!
Folks IT IS DRY… Alabama Governor has issued an all out ban because of the Dry conditions…. Please do not burn yard trash of any kind!!!
So Glad Neither of you were injured, God is ALWAYS in CONTROL ..
