Fire Destroys Large Shed At Funeral Home In Century
October 4, 2023
Fire destroyed a large shed behind a Century funeral home late Wednesday morning.
The fully involved fire behind the Jackson-McMurray Funeral Home on West Hecker Road was reported just before 11:30 a.m. Firefighters were able to quickly extinguish the structure fire and a small brush fire.
There were no injuries reported.
The 24×24 shed fire was reportedly sparked by a small outside fire that spread to the building. The main funeral home building was not involved.
The Century and McDavid stations of Escambia Fire Rescue, the Flomaton Fire Department and the Jay Fire Department were among those initially dispatched to the fire. The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office also responded.
