Wildfire Sparked By Yard Debris Burn Consumes Four Acres In Molino
April 11, 2025
A wildfire burned about four acres in Molino on Thursday afternoon.
The fire was originally spotted about 3 p.m. by a Florida Forest Service (FFS) airplane in the area. According to Escambia County Fire Rescue, the blaze started as a yard debris fire that got out of control.
ECFR said that a lot of debris that included railroad tires, old buildings and broken-down cars helped to fuel the fire.
The Forest Service responded with two tractors and one brush truck, while Escambia County Fire Rescue responded with multiple units from stations including Molino, Cantonment and McDavid.
FFS contained the fire within a fire line.

Mnon–
So if you burn some yard debris you are not civilized?! If that is civilization to you, you need to go crawl back in whatever inner city you came from. We don’t need your kind in Molino. Now you darn well better be careful burning, but seriously?!
Guess Smokey the bear couldnt put it out
The lack of respect for neighbors is becoming just another thing from the past. The funds it cost to deal with this type negligence should not be just another tax payer bailout. Accountability sparks responsibility.
Hopefully the person responsible is fined up the eyeballs. Next time they can haul off their trash instead of burning it, potentially setting the neighborhood on fire. We don’t live down in the “hollers” any more with acres between everyone. Start having your garbage hauled off by ECUA like civilized people.
