BALDWIN COUNTY, Ala. A structure fire on Sunday destroyed a home and sent multiple fire departments to the scene to help extinguish the blaze.
According to authorities, the Baldwin County 911 Communications Center received a call about a fire on County Road 9 at around 1:56 p.m., but as firefighters were responding, they could see heavy smoke from a distance and immediately requested additional fire departments to respond.
The doublewide was fully involved in fire when the first fire engine arrived.
Some grass and a wooded area nearby were also burning.
But as firefighters worked to get the fire under control, ammunition inside the residence began popping off, making it even more dangerous for the firefighters who were trying to conduct an interior attack on the fire.
Mutual aid came from the Barnwell, Fairhope, Magnolia Springs, Summerdale, and Marlow Fire Departments, along with an ambulance and deputies with the Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office.
A substantial amount of damage was reported to the home.
No injuries were reported.
The fire rekindled, and multiple fire departments responded to the scene at 6:09 p.m. Firefighters poured more water on the rekindled fire for several hours.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
