Worker’s Torch Catches Youngsville Home On Fire

A Youngsville home catches on fire last night, and apparently it happened because of a mistake by a worker installing a sprinkler system.

According to our news partners at KATC, Lafayette fire investigators say the worker's torch ignited insulation inside the home's walls as the worker was removing an exterior water faucet to connect additional piping.

Fortunately, no one was injured and the home suffered minor to moderate damage.
