House Fire in Louisiana Leaves Four People Homeless
I still remember reading about the house fire on Dalton Street, and it hit me how quickly life can change in a matter of minutes. On Wednesday evening, September 3, the Baton Rouge Fire Department was called to the 3900 block of Dalton Street around 7:08 p.m. When crews arrived, they found the residents already outside, safe but shaken.
