Fire In Blackcreek Freeport

[Dave Rauschkolb]

There's now another huge fire between 79 and inlet beach. It evidently already crossed highway 98 and all eastwest traffic on 98 towards Panama City is being turned around. My girlfriend saw it and it was huge.

This is getting bad. There is black soot on my deck furniture and it is very smokey.

We are 2 streets East of the Wheel House in Seagrove Beach. Our pool is covered in ashes, and we can actually smell the smoke from our backyard. :shock:

WHAT IS GOING ON!!??

Feel free to evacuate to sunny Southern California. Room for 4, max.

Smiling JOe, Out of curiosity, did you hear a bomb drop early this am? Might be crazy, but fire #1 seems to have occurred at that time. Just a thought!

 

[Kimmifunn]

What is the cause? Are these in any way linked with the Pandora's fire?

We've had ash landing in our pool since about 4PM this afternoon. We are more or less behind the old Wheel House.

Dry conditions? I don't think Pandora"s fire is related.

 

[Smiling JOe]

I'm no fire investigator, but my guess is Pandora's fire was due to not cleaning the hood exhaust ducts.

Who knows how the other two fires started? I could venture some guesses like cigarettes being thrown out of a car, or someone burning yard trash and it getting out of hand. We haven't had lightning spark it. I hear bombs go off so often that I couldn't tell you if I heard them yesterday or this morning, but I do know that if one went off around Black Creek, I would know about it from word of mouth of my friends who live up there.

I about wrecked my car when some jackA$$ in front of me on 30-A tossed a ciggie out the window. I pulled over and made sure it was out! This fire stuff is gonna worry me to death.
