Two-Alarm Blaze Damages Two Homes In Lafayette Tuesday
Neighbors reporting “flames on the roof” of a home in the 3400 block of Monroe Avenue in Lafayette early Tuesday morning brought a sizable firefighting response to a blaze that quickly grew to 2-alarms and left two structures damaged – one heavily.
The fire was reported at 4:56 a.m. Tuesday, crews arriving to find a two-story home at 3461 Monroe with heavy smoke and fire on its roof.
Occupants of the home were reported out and safe with flames spreading to an adjacent residence. On-scene commanders called for a 2nd Alarm, bringing additional personal and apparatus to the scene.
