house fire

The home, which was converted into a duplex, was occupied by two families -- a family of five on one side and one person on the other.

Quick thinking from a concerned neighbor helped save a life in a Lafayette house fire.

Firefighters investigating fire at home in the 100 block of Street of Love.

While the pets were saved, contents of the homes sustained major damage.

Reports say that family members of the victims have said that the 15-year-old who died in the fire was babysitting her two younger brothers at the time.

Everything inside the home was destroyed by the blaze.

Video shows the heroic man running out of the house with a young girl in his arms all while suffering from serious injuries.

The woman's mother and child were inside of the home at the time of the incident which was apparently prompted by an argument.

The fire started in the laundry room attached to the carport.

The woman who lives in the home was able to make it out safely.

Authorities on the scene say that the home only had one smoke detector inside and it was not working at the time of the blaze, per reports.

The fire has been ruled accidental.

the fire started around 7 pm on Thursday, November 18, 2021.

The fire was reported at around 1:30 Thursday afternoon.

The fire started at around 11 o'clock Tuesday night.

One firefighter was injured, but no one in the home was hurt.

They say bad things come in threes one Louisiana woman had all three bad things happen in the same night.

Though everyone made it out safely, the water and fire damage left them with almost nothing.

A Facebook post by Emilee Goulas Gautreaux details the needs of the family and how anyone looking to help out can do so.

No one was injured as a result of the fire.
