Brush Fire Burns Two Acres And Shed, Threatens House In Century

September 28, 2019

A brush fire ripped through about two acres, damaged a storage shed and threatened a house Friday afternoon in Century.

Residents say the fire on Elm Street near Jeter Lane moved quickly, jumping through a wooded area, burning the fence and igniting the shed.

There were no injuries reported. The cause of the fire was not immediately known.

The Century and McDavid stations of Escambia Fire Rescue, Flomaton Fire Department and Escambia County EMS responded. The Florida Forest Service also responded, cutting a line through the woods around the fire to keep it from spreading further.

    27 August was the last measurable rainfall in our area.
    32 days without any real rain and woods, fields, critters and everything is really dry.

    I think I saw Cheryl’s husband in the area. He doesn’t like she sheds, ya know.
