Adult and three kids killed in Raceland house fire

RACELAND, La. (WGNO) — An adult and three kids are dead following a house fire in Raceland early Thursday morning, authorities said.

According to the Louisiana Office of State Fire Marshal, firefighters with the Lafourche Parish Fire District 1 responded to the 100 block of Rodriguez Drive around 1 a.m. on report of a house fire.

Investigators said a 46-year-old woman was able to escape the home and was hospitalized. Four other people were, however, found dead. They are believed to be a 20-year-old woman, 14-year-old boy, 12-year-old girl and a 6-year-old boy. Identification will come from the coroner’s office.

“Calls like these are what we dread in the fire service,” said DPS Principal Assistant Chief Bryan J. Adams. “We don’t know what might have made a difference to prevent this fire, but we know in any fire, smoke alarms can give families critical, extra time to escape a fire. Every home should have at least one working smoke alarm protecting them at all times.”

Investigation as to the cause of the fire remains ongoing. Officials said it’s unclear whether smoke alarms inside the home were working when the fire started.

No further information was provided.
