Staff Report
The cause of a Patterson fire that took multiple agencies to extinguish Monday afternoon remains unknown, Patterson Volunteer Fire Chief Scott Hutton said Tuesday morning.
While no injuries were reported in the blaze, he said, a dog perished in the fire at 112/114 Enterprise St.
The Patterson Volunteer Fire Department was called to the fire about 2:10 p.m., and when the first unit arrived, heavy smoke and fire were encountered at the home, according to a report on the department’s Facebook page.
Bayou Vista and Centerville volunteer fire departments were called for mutual aid, while Berwick and Morgan City Fire departments later were called to help due to the temperatures Monday afternoon, the report said.
The fire was brought under control by about 4:30 p.m., and the Patterson Volunteer Fire Department was back in service by 5:30 p.m.
About 40 responders and eight apparatus, including an Acadian Ambulance unit, responded.
