Smoker Grill Blamed For Structure Fire

May 29, 2019

A smoker grill is being blamed for a fire that destroyed a detached storage building Tuesday afternoon.

Firefighters responded to the a home at 9 1/2 Mile Road and Bowman Avenue about 1:20 p.m.  to find flames and smoke showing from a wood frame shed that had already burned mostly to the ground.

An investigation by Escambia Fire Rescue determined the smoker grill had been placed to close to the 300 square foot structure, sparking the blaze.

The structure was a total loss, but a nearby home did not sustain any damage. There were no injuries.

    Looks like there is still pork chop on the grill, probably with an ideal smoke ring.

    Hope they had “Farmers Insurance,” because they have seen a thing or two..
