Massive Fire Destroys Over Two Dozen Perdido Key Condos (With Video)
June 19, 2019
A massive fire on Perdido Key Wednesday morning destroyed at least 26 condominiums and a home just east of the Flora-Bama on Perdido Key.
The first fire units arrived on scene shortly after 4 a.m. to find a working fire spanning multiple condos and spreading quickly due to wind and close proximity of the units to one another. It is estimated that 14 units at Key Harbour and 12 units at Pescador Landing have been destroyed. One residential stand-alone home on the west side of the fire was also destroyed and considered a total loss.
An estimated 50 people were displaced by the fire at Key Harbour.
Escambia Fire Rescue believes all residents are accounted for, while some pets may still be missing. One resident was transported with minor injuries and smoke inhalation and one firefighter from Orange Beach was also transported with heat-related injuries. Both were taken to South Baldwin Hospital.
The Florida State Fire Marshal is investigating.
NorthEscambia.com video (below) caught one of the structures collapsing. It can be seen burning in the photo at the top of the page, and it is no longer there in the photo below.

An estimated 75 firefighters responded with assistance from Escambia County EMS, Escambia County Area Transit, City of Pensacola Fire, Baldwin County EMS, Santa Rosa County Fire, Orange Beach Fire, Fire & Emergency Services of the Gulf Coast, Lillian Volunteer Fire Department, Gulf Power, ECUA and the Red Cross.

God Bless and comfort those who lost so much in this horrible fire.
Thank you for Protecting the lives of the persons in the buildings and the Heroic Fire Fighters, EMT’s, LEO and others who ran toward the flames to help others.
This is beyond sad for these people who lost their home. We all wonder what we would do first when we are unable to think straight. God Bless all of them and those injured.
Praying for all involved!! Can’t imagine the sadness these people are experiencing! God will provide!
It seems like it was just a week ago, there was fire at on Ono Island, these two places are so close to one another. Hope no one was injured, many prayers going up
