Firefighters Battle Large Brush, Tire Fire
November 16, 2017
Firefighters from Alabama and Florida battled a large brush and tire fire just north of Atmore late Wednesday morning.
The fire was reported about 11:15 a.m. on Power Road, just off Robinsonville Road. A brush fire ignited a pile of tires reported to be about 50-feet in diameter. The fire also consumed at least one vehicle, while firefighters were able to save a nearby mobile home.
The resulting plume of dark black smoke could be seen from as far away as Century.
Multiple Alabama fire department including Atmore, Poarch, Nokomis and Robinsonville and the Walnut Hill Station of Escambia Fire Rescue from Florida battled the fire for about two hours.
