Earlier this evening Bayou Cane Fire Department, A Shift, responded to a structure fire on Jennings Ln. in Houma. The fire was extinguished within 5 minutes of the first units arriving on the scene. The homeowner safely exited the residence prior to the fire department’s arrival and no injuries were reported.


 

The homeowner stated that he inadvertently left a space heater on in a bedroom since the previous night. After investigating, it was also determined that the heater was plugged into a surge protector and an extension cord.

 

Bayou Cane Fire Department would like to remind everyone that space heaters should only be plugged directly into a wall outlet. Never use extension cords with a space heater.
