Lightning Believed To Be To Blame For Large Storage Shed Fire

June 16, 2017

A fire possibly sparked by lightning destroyed large outdoor shed in the 8400 block of Upper Creek Road near Flomaton Thusday afternoon.  Firefighters were hampered in their efforts to extinguish the fire by fuel that was stored inside. They turned to foam to eventually put out the fire. The Flomaton, Friendship, Barnett Crossroads fire departments, the the McDavid and Century stations of Escambia Fire Rescue, Escambia County (FL) EMS and the Escambia County (AL) Sheriff’s Office all responded to the fire. There were no injuries reported. Photos by April McCullough for NorthEscambia.com, click to enlarge.

    Thank goodness for mutual aid, I’m glad no one way injured. Go BCR VFD.
