RE: WHISPERJET

The article does not specify what started the blaze. It’s winter and people would be burning even with a ban. Many, many possibilities could have started this fire, including the burned out pickup truck.

Not long after another fire was started across from my moms house. It was located off River Bend in Molino. Thankfully Molino and Cantonment fire department and the Forestry department responded very quickly and were able to contain it and put it out. As of now they are bull dozering trees and burying all hot spots. We have an awesome fire and forestry team in the area.

Thankyou NorthEscambia.com for doing what other so called news papers and news stations around this area completely fail in doing and that’s actually reporting the news. You got the word out and people responded accordingly. Grateful no lives were lost and the Forestry Service and Fire Departments had the resources to do what needed to be done.

My husband, mother and myself were the ones to call and report the fire. We were heading home when we seen it. Thank you to the Firefighters and Forestery for all you do. And thank God it wasn’t any worse. I’m glad everyone is okay, especially their homes.

Thank you so much for reporting this! This square track area butts up against our property and with the winds the way they are, it could have been bad. In light of the tragic Tennessee fires, a thank you to the person who quickly called it in, the fire fighters and first responders. There was nothing on the local news and thanks to facebook we were alerted through your page. Thank you all.

That’s me! I am very thankful that they stopped it before it got to my house. And my house is on Quintette. Thank you to all who helped! Thanks to all fire fighters!

Prayers for the Firefighters and other First Responders and support crews.
We hope they’ll get control of this quickly and without any injury to themselves or great property loss.
