SCOTT â One person has died in a fire that started early Sunday.
Scott Fire Chief Chad Sonnier says his firefighters were called to the Scottsdale Street apartment complex at about 12:44 a.m. Sunday.
They were told by neighbors that an 18-year-old person, who had a disability, was still inside the fourplex, which was burning. Firefighters went inside and found the person in a bedroom. They already were dead from smoke inhalation, Sonnier says. I see him all the time. Super nice boy. Does not let being in a wheel chair stop him. He is all over the place. So sad some one had to lose their life Jamie Cormier, a neighbor, said.
The third instance happened early Sunday when a trooper s vehicle was hit while responding to a crash on Interstate 80/94 eastbound at the 1.7 mile-marker in Hammond.
