HOUMA, La. — A Houma home went ablaze Friday morning as black smoke and flames were seen from the sky, according to the Houma Fire Department.
Fire crews were sent to the 200 block of Saint Milo Street around 10:55 a.m. on the east side of Houma after a fire was reported in the area.
Captain E. Mott said he requested a second alarm when he saw "heavy black smoke and flames in the sky".
Crews said heavy fire was coming from the front of the home and lots of debris in the front yard made it difficult for them to enter the home, according to the department.
It took firefighters 20 minutes to put the fire out.
Officials said one person was in the home at the time of the fire and was able to make it out before firefighters arrived.
No injuries were reported and the cause of the fire is unknown at this time.
