Falling Pine Tree Cuts Power For Large Part Of Century
April 30, 2023
A falling pine tree cut power for a large part of Century Sunday afternoon.
The pine tree fell onto power lines and sparked a small bush fire about 2:07 p.m. on Alger Road, across from the Masonic Lodge on Lodge Drive.
According to Florida Power & Light, about 840 customers in Century lost power as a result. By 3 p.m., power had been restored to some customers.
The Century Station of Escambia County Fire Rescue responded and quickly extinguished the fire.

There is an oak tree limb hanging over the road on highway 97 north where the truck driver got killed that is going to do the same thing I pray it does not come down on someone
Thanks, we were wondering what caused the outage.
There’s another falling down road sign the Century street department needs to be proactive about keeping perpendicular (straight, not falling over) and/or updated to be reflective.
