Fire Heavily Damages Century Home
July 7, 2017
Fire heavily damaged a home in Century Thursday night.
Neighbors reported seeing flames from the roof of the home in the 800 block of Freedom Road just before 8 p.m. Heavy smoke was showing when the first firefighters arrived on scene moments later.
The 2,200 square foot wood-frame home suffered extensive fire damage in the attic, with smoke and water damage throughout. It was not immediately known if someone was at home when the fire broke out.
There were no reported injuries. Firefighters were forced to battle not only the fire, but the heat and humidity took as that took a toll on their abilities.
The Century, McDavid and Walnut Hill stations of Escambia Fire Rescue, the Jay Fire Department, the Flomaton Fire Department, Escambia County EMS and the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office responded to the blaze.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.

>>That was not a metal roof, the photos are deceiving. I know the homeowner and the home. I am 100 percent sure, that is NOT a metal roof.

Firefighters spend countless hours training for the event of a structure fire with the structure having a metal roof. Very dangerous operations but also very common. Escsmbia fire is well equipped and well trained to handle such both paid and volunteers.
Another metal roof in the way for fire fighters. They seem to cause a lot of trouble when there is a fire.
