State Fire Marshal Investigating Early Morning Milestone Fire

April 14, 2025

One home and three vehicles were destroyed by a two-alarm fire early Monday morning in Milestone.

At 5:27 a.m., fire was reported in a single-story brick home on Milestone Boulevard that was threatening two nearby homes.  Due to the significance of the fire and the exposure of nearby homes, a second alarm for additional units was issued. The other two homes were damaged by heat.

Crews battled the intense fire, eventually bringing the situation under control by 7:10 a.m. There were no injuries or fatalities.

The Florida State Fire Marshal’s Office is investigating.

The Ensley, Cantonment, Ferry Pass, Bellview, Beulah, Myrtle Grove, and Osceola stations of Escambia County Fire Rescue responded, along with the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office and Escambia County EMS.

    Those houses are built so close together, it’s like a brick trailer park. One goes up in flames, and the ones next to it are very vulnerable.

    And that my friends should teach a lesson as to why homes should not be built so close together that you can spit on your neighbor’s house! One fire, one home gone and two others damaged. Just sad!
    I would NEVER spend my money on a house built in a subdivision where the house are built on top of one another.
