ABBEVILLE â An Abbeville family is without a home after losing everything in a house fire that happened last Monday on Lark Road. The family says the house had wiring issues and a leaking roof, and believe the fire was caused by last week s severe storms that rolled through Acadiana.
Avery Leleux, father and husband, says the family was at the grocery store at the time the fire started. As we were coming home, turning down Lark Road, we just saw fire trucks and the entire fire department was there it seemed like, says Leleux. I would have never imagined that it would have been our house.

CHURCH POINT â Bailey Deshotel was watching after her younger brother Blaize last Wednesday afternoon while their parents and other sister were out when their house on East Plaquemines Street in Church Point caught on fire.
Bailey recalls her younger brother running to her in the hallway with his shirt in flames. Bailey immediately told him to stop, drop and roll, but the six-year-old did not understand and began to panic. He told me, I don t know how to do that, says Bailey Deshotel. So I had to push him onto the ground to stop it and eventually I had to take the shirt off of him.
