10 Mile Road Resident Injured While Saving Cat From Mobile Home Fire
December 3, 2020
A resident was injured while rescuing their cat from a mobile home fire Thursday morning.
The adult went back into the mobile home in the 600 block of East 10 Mile Road in order to save the cat. The resident was transported by Escambia County EMS to an area hospital due to smoke inhalation. The cat did not suffer any serious injuries. It was evaluated by Escambia County EMS and left in the care of a neighbor.
The older mobile home in the Shady Haven Mobile Home Park was a total loss. Firefighters were able to quickly bring the fire under control without damage to other nearby homes.
The cause of the fire is under investigation by the Florida State Fire Marshal.
The fire will be the first red bulb in Escambia County’s Keep The Wreath Green fire safety campaign. Large wreaths are on display at fire stations and other locations across the county. Each time Escambia Fire Rescue responds to a residential fire with damage during December, a green light bulb will be replaced with a red one to remind citizens of the dangers posed by fire.

I can see where the owner of the cat is coming from. I consider my dogs family not pets.
Finally a happy ending. Pets probably bring more joy and love than people do.
Anyone who would risk their life to save their cat MUST be a true, honest, good person. If you need help, please put a post here with your contact info. I want to help the family!
Prayers for the resident’s health and recovery from this tragic loss. Kudos to the firefighters for your quick work to extinguish the fire and save adjacent residences. Thanks for going the second mile by caring for the traumatized cat, so the homeowner will have their dear pet back, amid such tragedy. We appreciate all of our wonderful first responders and health care workers!
Truly heart breaking for the family to lose their home at this time of year or any time for that matter. Wishing you a speedy recovery from the smoke. You are a brave person for recusing your cat. However, it shows that you truly have compassion and love for your fur baby. God bless.
