Family members exit apartment on MLK after fire
While firefighters were battling one blaze inside an apartment on Martin Luther King Drive in Flomaton last Thursday, a second blaze broke out in another apartment with both being caused by items left on a stove.
The Flomaton Fire Department responded to a 911 call at 1:31 p.m. to 545 Martin Luther King Drive, Apartment 31, to find the apartment full of smoke and flames coming from the stove.
