Fire destroys new home as voters weigh rural protection
A family of four lost their new brick home at 401 Lakeshore Dr to a fire of undetermined origin outside city limits. No injuries were reported. Neighbors doused two nearby houses with garden hoses to halt spread. The Antleys said the loss surpassed insurance and the house had just been built two months earlier. The fire came as local groups announced support for two rural Ouachita Parish fire protection plans on the Sept. 28 ballot, with the Monroe Chamber of Commerce and other bodies backing the maximum protection plan featuring four stations and a 42-member parish department, costing about 3.50 per year per thousand of assessed value.
