On 05/26/2022 16:17 hours, the Midway Fire District was dispatched to the 4300 block of Soundside Drive for a residential structure fire. Upon their arrival, there was a well involved fire in the attic. Crews made access to the interior, as Ladder 36 set up to vent the roof. The fire engulfed the 2nd floor attic space and quickly spread to the front of the home.
On the initial alarm, Midway Engines 35, 37, Truck 36, B/C 35, D/C 35, Fire Inspector 35, Holley-Navarre Engine 41 and Escambia County Engine 13 responded. Battalion Chief Noa subsequently requested a 2nd alarm, which brought Escambia County Engine 17, Gulf Breeze Engine 33 and Holley-Navarre Engine 45 to the scene. Other mutual aid units moved up for station coverage assignments.
