Three-Alarm Fire Damages Lafayette’s Kaiser Estate Saturday

Firefighters battled a stubborn fire at the historic Kaiser Estate in Lafayette Saturday, the blaze partially collapsing sections of the roof and damaging infrastructure on the 50s-era property.

The fire at 940 Reliez Station Lane was reported at 4:56pm and drew a small army of firefighters to the scene. Access to the 7-acre property proved difficult for apparatus with crews approaching the fire from different directions.
