Additional crews from Navarre Beach Fire Rescue District Ladder 49 and Midway Engine 37 assisted with fire suppression and overhaul.

Midway Fire District said the home had sustained enough damage from fire and smoke, it warranted a request to the American Red Cross to assist the family with emergency housing.
