VIDEO: A mother and her 12-year-old son escaped a house fire Tuesday afternoon in Toulminville. The mother spoke with News 5. She said she and her son were in the front of the home when they saw smoke. She said she immediately grabbed her son and ran out of the house. According to fire officials, the fire has been contained, and there were no injuries. “It appears from the outside that it spread through the attic; a lot of time that happens when heat and smoke rises,” Mobile Fire-Rescue Public Information Officer Jeff Haller said. “So a lot of times, they’ll find their way into the attic and then out in the openings that are seen in the attic as well.” The cause of the fire has not been determined at this time.
