Kitchen Fire Erupts At Apartment – While Firefighters Were Fighting Kitchen Fire Across Street

March 16, 2018

While firefighters were fighting one apartment kitchen fire Thursday afternoon, another kitchen fire broke out at a second apartment across the street.

The first kitchen fire was in the 500 block of Martin Luther King Drive, taking about 15 to 20 minutes to bring it under control.

As firefighters from the Flomaton Fire Department and  the Century Station of Escambia Fire Rescue were fighting the first kitchen fire, they receive a report of another kitchen fire across the street.

One person was transported to Jay Hospital for smoke inhalation.

Escambia County (FL) EMS and the Flomaton Police Department also responded.

    If i had to guess I’d bet they were too busy watching across the street at what was going on and forgot what was on the stove. Either way glad th fire department was nearby.

    It’s all about being in the right place at the right time. Thanks to this unit and here’s hoping if I should need them…they would be at the right place too!
