Terrebonne Parish Sheriff Tim Soignet announced that an investigation is being conducted into a structure fire that occurred in the 700 block of Enterprise Drive, on Monday morning, shortly after 12:00am.

 

On Monday, December 26, 2022, the Bayou Cane Fire Department responded to the 700 block of Enterprise Drive in reference to a working structure fire at a commercial building that was under construction.  As firefighters extinguished the blaze, evidence was discovered which indicated that the fire may have been intentionally set.  The TPSO Patrol Division responded to the area and identified the structure as the future home of Pelican Point Preschool.
