Body Found After Escambia County RV Fire

December 17, 2021

A body was found an RV following a fire Thursday morning in Escambia County.

Escambia Fire Rescue responded to the RV fire in the 1400 block of “P” Street about 12:50 a.m. Thursday and found the vehicle fully engulfed in flames. A deceased individual was located inside the vehicle, and the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office was notified.

The cause of the fire is under investigation by the Florida State Fire Marshal’s Office.

The fire is the eighth red bulb in the “Keep the Wreath Green” fire safety campaign in Escambia County.

During the month-long Keep the Wreath Green campaign, five-foot wreaths are on display at county fire stations and other locations. Each time firefighters respond to a residential fire with damage, a green light bulb is replaced with a red one to remind citizens of the dangers posed by fires in residential homes.

    @Barbara….
    Appears you are quick to assume. I am sorry that this horrible event happened and took a life. I pray for God to comfort his family and friends in their time of need. It is very difficult to lose a loved one especially during the holidays and my heart goes out to all of his family. I dont believe Budreaux comment was at all inappropriate or done with any ill intent for anyone. It was an attempt to link 2 different stories as 1 to bring a little clarity. Some are people of very few words, others live very busy lives and therefore they keep things short and straight to what their question is.
    I personally do not feel there was anything wrong or disrespectful in Budreaux comment/question. I think you were quick in making an assumption he was being negative or disrespectful. I myself didnt see it that way at all.

    I understand your motive. It was just a bit jarring to see a comment not even mention the loss of a life. It just so happens I knew the man. He was homeless. You didn’t know him. Perhaps my comment was unnecessary.

    My question was for knowledge and clarification. I only wanted to know if it was the same event. Neither NE.com or WEAR.com tied the two stories together.

    A man died in that fire. I know that internet and cable outages are frustrating. However, a life was lost. Are we, as a society so callous?

    A man died in the fire. I know internet and cable outages are annoying, but for Pete’s sake….a life was lost

    >>.Does anyone know if this was the same RV fire that caused the Cox outage?

    Yes.

    Does anyone know if this was the same RV fire that caused the Cox outage? Times and locations are close, maybe just a coincidence.
