VIDEO: A house in Metairie which caught fire on Sunday, rekindled early Monday morning forcing firefighters to return to extinguish the remaining smolder.
The home in the 600 block of Lake Avenue, caught fire Sunday evening and Jefferson Parish firefighters arrived on the scene to battle the blaze.
The homeowner, who lived in the Old Metairie home since 1972, says his wife heard the fire crackling.
“I was watching TV, and we kept hearing loud popping noises. And when my wife went to look at the back she said it was on fire. It all started in the corner and went straight up into the tree and then came over to the back of the house,” the homeowner tells Eyewitness News’ Meg Farris who was on the scene of the fire.
Fire crews got the fire under control and eventually extinguished it. No one was injured in the fire.
