ELBERTA, Ala. An urgent call to the Baldwin County 911 Communications Center on Thursday morning at around 6 a.m. sent fire departments to a house fire in Elberta.
The fire was reported at 24355 Pilgrim Road and the caller stated that someone was possibly still trapped inside the residence.
The Elberta, Lillian, Perdido Beach and Summerdale Fire Departments, along with EMS and the sheriff’s office, were immediately dispatched and it was determined that no one was trapped inside the home.
Because of a lack of fire hydrants in the area, additional fire departments, including Foley, Josephine and Bon Secour were dispatched, and tankers were brought in to set up a water relay to assist in the firefighting efforts.
Roads in the area were blocked according to law enforcement.
At this time there are no injuries reported.
The cause of the fire is unknown.
