CADDO PARISH, La. (KTAL/KMSS) – Firefighters fought to bring a blaze under control in southern Caddo Parish after a house fire began to spread to the surrounding area Sunday afternoon.
Around 3:00 p.m., Caddo Parish Fire District four members responded to the scene near Hwy 789 and Preston Rd. north of Keachi. Districts three and six also responded to aid them after the initial alarm. When firefighters arrived, they found a single-wide mobile home fully involved in flames. The fire spread to a nearby storage building and the woods surrounding the home.
