On Saturday, July 16, 2022, Niceville’s Emerald Coast Children’s Advocacy Center reported that the facility had “suffered significant damage” due to an apparent fire that then led to water damage from the fire sprinkler system.

“We are just incredibly sad and devastated,” wrote the Emerald Coast Children’s Advocacy Center on Saturday night. “Although there was much water damage from the fire sprinkler system, it prevented what could have been a devastating fire. As heartbroken as I feel and fighting back the tears, I am thanking God for His saving grace – it could have been so much more worse. We may be down but will rise above the water.”

The Center went on to say that they will need to replace many things in order to restore their child-friendly environment. As for immediate plans, they will carry on services and operations without disruption. 

“We are thankful for all of agency partners lending a hand and we are forever grateful to the Niceville Fire Department who went above and beyond to help us today,” they said. “The days ahead will be tough, but God is tougher!!!”
