Attic Fire Damages Molino Home
December 30, 2016
Fire damaged a large Molino home Thursday night, but firefighters were able save the home from major destruction.
An attic fire was reported at the home on Luth Road off Highway 99 just before 9 p.m. Firefighters reported light smoke showing as they arrived on scene at 5,500 square foot, two-story home. The fire was quickly brought under control with significant damage to the attic
Preliminary reports indicated the fire started from a fireplace chimney. There were no injuries reported.
The Molino, Walnut Hill, Cantonment and McDavid stations of Escambia Fire Rescue and the Atmore Fire Department, including a ladder truck, responded to the blaze.
The home’s occupants were displaced, marking the 10th bulb in the “Keep the Wreath Green” fire safety campaign. Each time firefighters respond to a residential fire with damage, a green light bulb will be replaced with a red one to remind citizens of the dangers posed by fires in residential home.

Stay away from the national chain sweeps or get at least get a second opinion. Search for Doodlebuggers Chimney Sweeps in Pensacola and review BBB for all.
I FOUND A CHIMNEY SWEEP IN MILTON PART OF A NATIONAL CHAIN I COULDNT FIND ONE IN PENSACOLA. FOUND IT IN YELLOW PAGES OR WEBSITE.
All of the fires this holiday season are killing me. I feel so bad for all of these families. Strangers like myself can pray for them and watch to see if the community is going to do anything else.
Looks like they were able to save it, great job guys! Such a beautiful home! Probably not many chimney sweeps in this area. Enough to get the job done on a regular basis tho, I wot.
Glad nobody was hurt.
