Lafayette Fire Department

We had a fence catch on fire in the middle of the night. Our neighbor saw the flames and the fire department was here in minutes. Due to their rapid response, less than 12 feet of fencing was lost. It appears the fire was started by spontaneous combustion in a part of our garden not being watered because of no plants in that area this year. We were shown where the raised bed board had burned from the inside at ground level. The fire fighters were quick to douse the fire and saved us from a lot of possible damage. Thank you!

Great team, fast responders.
