Louisiana State Fire Marshal deputies are investigating a house fire that claimed the lives of two Southeast Louisiana men on Sunday (October 28), a 76-year-old and a 56-year old.
St. Tammany Fire Parish Fire Districts 6, 8, 9, and 12 responded to the fire at 3:18 p.m., Sunday,, located in the 83000 block of Sun Drive in the Village of Sun.
Due to the extent of the damage, SFM deputies are unsure if the home had a working smoke alarm. SFM deputies and St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s investigators are working jointly on this investigation to determine the origin and cause of the fire.
DPS Principal Assistant Chief Bryan J. Adams encourages all Louisiana residents to ensure their homes are protected with smoke alarms. If you do not have one or need help installing one, the Department’s Operation Save-A-Life program provides free smoke alarms and installation.
