ECFR: Fire That Claimed Life Of Family Pet Was Sparked By Electrical Outlet
April 26, 2022
Investigators have determined an electrical problem sparked a house fire Saturday afternoon in Gonzalez that claimed the life of a family pet.
Firefighters responded to a residential fire on the 900 block of New Haven Drive north of Old Chemstrand Road about 5:15 p.m.
Escambia County Fire Rescue said Monday afternoon that the fire was due to a faulty electrical outlet in one of the bedrooms. A dog was found deceased in that room. There were no other injuries reported.
Firefighters arrived to find smoke coming from the roof of the home, and they brought the fire under control in about 30 minutes.
ECFR said the home can be occupied after repairs are completed.
The Cantonment, Ensley, Bellview, Ferry Pass and Osceola stations of Escambia Fire Rescue, Pace Fire Department and Escambia County EMS were dispatched to the fire.

I wonder if you have aluminum wiring in your home ? My sister’s home burned up and it was determined it was the aluminum wiring.I am so sorry about your pet.
so sorry to hear of the loss of a family pet, i have noticed for the past couple days i haven’t seen the gentlemen who would walk his beautiful pittie (i believe) from new haven passed hidden terrace in the morning when i would be leaving for work. if this is his house and furbaby i am sad to hear. thankfully no other loss of life or injury to anyone including first responders.
