Ascension Parish volunteer firefighters respond to three structure fires

Ascension Parish volunteer firefighters battled three structure fires within a 12-hour period over the weekend.

Chief James LeBlanc thanked the volunteer firefighters of Galvez-Lake, St. Amant, Geismar, 7th District, 5th Ward, and Sorrento.

All six volunteer fire departments responded to the three structure fires.

LeBlanc said the fires were under investigation, but it is believed weather played a role in all three.
