Fire Destroys Large Warehouse At Atmore Area Cotton Gin
January 31, 2019
Fire destroyed a large warehouse at a cotton gin north of Atmore Thursday afternoon.
The fire ripped through what we are told was a seed warehouse at the Frank Currie Gin Company in the small community of McCullough, about five miles northwest of the Highway 31 Atmore exit on I-65.
At least a portion of warehouse collapsed, according to reports from the scene. Smoke from the blaze could be seen for miles.
The McCullough and Poarch fire departments were among the responders working to contain the roaring blaze.

So sorry for them. Looks like a big loss.
No it doesn’t it’s a seed house you can’t put water on it anyways
If it was, it was not working very well.
Doesn’t look like it Mary
Was this building equipped with a fire sprinkler system?
