DOTHAN, Ala. – Just seven minutes into a new shift at 7:00 AM on Sunday, the Dothan Fire Department was dispatched to a fully involved structure fire at 305 N. Edgewood Street. The call marked the second fire reported at the same location within a span of less than eight hours.
According to emergency communications, the earlier incident occurred late Saturday night at approximately 11:24 PM, when crews responded to reports of smoke and visible flames at the residence. That fire was brought under control just after midnight, with fire officials declaring the scene stable by 12:27 AM.
However, by early Sunday morning, flames had once again engulfed the structure. Upon arrival, Battalion Chief Ash confirmed the building was fully involved. A defensive attack was initiated to protect nearby structures, and crews were directed to check for any possible occupants.
Authorities have not yet released information regarding the cause of the recurring fire, and an investigation is expected to follow.
