House Fire in Santa Rosa Beach

[Zen Frog]

Does anyone know anything about the house on Bramble Street that burned for several hours this afternoon? I am hoping that the occupants of the home are safe. There were three or four fire engine trucks and two ambulances. The ambulances were among the last to leave. I am hoping they were there to support fire crew members and not to collect casualties.

I found the answer to my question.

A house fire on Bramble Street in Santa Rosa Beach on Tuesday afternoon greatly damaged its top floor.​

​

​

An electrician working on the home’s heater had just turned it off and walked outside to get a flashlight, said Sammy Sanchez, fire marshal for the South Walton Fire District. He looked back and saw smoke and flames coming from the house.​

​

​

The fire was in the attic, Sanchez said.​

​

​

“It was a stubborn fire because there were so many niches,” Sanchez said.​

​

​

The downstairs was left mostly intact, but the upstairs and roof were damaged, Sanchez said.​

​

​

No person was injured, but a dog died in the fire.​
