Around 10:30 am. on the 4600 block of Campbell, crews responded to a working house fire and made a quick knock down. Later that afternoon, firefighters contended with a garage/brush fire on North Evangeline. Crews had to work around a trench for a basement, partially unsupported driveway, and power lines. The home in this event was under construction on a lot with an older garage still on site.
