A String of Recent Slidell Fire Calls
This is not the only fire St. Tammany Parish crews have responded to in Slidell in recent months. WDSU previously reported that a firefighter sustained minor injuries while battling a separate structural fire on City Drive, where crews found fire throughout a room, quickly knocked it down, and determined no one was home at the time. In a separate Slidell house fire, WDSU reported that one person was injured and transported.
Similar scenes have played out elsewhere. In Puyallup, Washington, a driver crashed into a tree and her vehicle caught fire, according to The News Tribune. Bystanders pulled her from the burning car before firefighters arrived, and police later said she was taken to a hospital for a blood draw after being arrested on suspicion of DUI.
