SLOCOMB, Ala. (WDNews) – Firefighters from multiple departments responded to a massive blaze Thursday morning after a fully involved structure fire was reported at 865 Price Road, just south of Slocomb.
At 9:32 a.m. on May 8, Geneva County 911 dispatched Fadette Fire Protection District, City of Slocomb Fire-Rescue, and Malvern Volunteer Fire & Rescue to the scene. Callers reported that the mobile home was already fully engulfed in flames.
Due to the lack of nearby hydrants, the Esto Fire Department from across the Florida line was requested for additional support. When crews arrived, they found a single-wide mobile home already collapsed and a second mobile home catching fire nearby.
Firefighters launched a defensive attack while establishing a water shuttle operation to battle the blaze. Crews from Fadette, Slocomb, Malvern, and Esto worked together to bring the fire under control quickly.
