Ocean City-Wright Fire
Fighters Respond
to Early Morning Fire:
At 5:58 A.M. this morning Ocean City-Wright fire fighters were dispatched to a reported structure fire at 48 Magnolia Ave. in the Poquito area of Shalimar. The initial 911 caller stated that his home was on fire. He advised he had tried to extinguish the fire, but was unsuccessful. He evacuated the house and reported that he was safe but his two cats were still inside.
Ocean City-Wright Battalion Chief Scott Funchess arrived on scene first and reported smoke showing from the residence. When the first company, Ocean City Truck Two, arrived on scene fire was visible coming from a back corner of the house. The crew of Truck Two immediately began an interior fire attack operation. Captain Bill Powell on Truck Two reported heavy smoke inside the structure and near zero visibility. Additional companies from Ocean City-Wright, Fort Walton Beach, and Eglin AFB arrived after Truck Two and assisted with fire attack and search operations.
