Fires Intentionally Set At Lafayette Home
There are three homes that are vacant on a property on Carmel Drive, and Lafayette fire officials say someone set a fire at two of the homes.
Lafayette Fire Department Spokesman and Investigator Alton Trahan, says via press release, that they were called out to a blaze at home in the 1100 block of Carmel Drive.
There are actually three vacant homes on that property, and one of the homes could be seen with a tremendous amount of smoke coming from the structure.
When the fire fighters started checking the other houses, they found a small fire in another home.
It took about ten minutes to bring the fire under control at the first structure.
