The first fire crews arrived to find light smoke smoking from the home’s entry door. The fire was brought under control by 12:49 p.m.

Foul play is not suspected in the deaths, according to Major Andrew Hobbs of the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office. The Florida State Fire Marshal is investigating the cause of the fire.

A smoke detector was installed in the home, but it is unknown if it was in working condition. Free smoke detectors are available to Escambia County residents by calling Escambia County Fire Rescue at (850) 595-HERO (4376).
