Flames erupt at house on Calhoun Street
November 28, 2016
No one was harmed as a two-alarm fire engulfed a house in the 2100 block of Calhoun Street on Monday evening.
Neighbors reported seeing a large fire erupting from the house’s attic before being quickly put out by firefighters who arrived on the scene at around 7:15 p.m.
A gofundme has been set up for residents of the house, with a goal of raising $5,000. Within the first four hours, it had raised nearly $4,000.
No official word on the cause has been released. A spokesman for the New Orleans Fire Department says the case is still under investigation. Stay tuned to the Maroon as more information becomes available.
