On Tuesday afternoon, the NOFD responded to reports of a house fire near Audubon Park.
Firefighters responded to 1430 Webster Street around 6:00 p.m.
Upon arrival, firefighters discovered a two-story home on fire.
An attached carport was heavily involved with fire, and heavy smoke was coming from the main structure. Firefighters immediately began an aggressive exterior attack on the bulk of the fire, which appeared to originate under the carport.
Additional crews searched inside making sure no residents remained.
According to the NOFD, the size of the fire, as well as hot and humid conditions, exceeded the ability for one alarm. A second alarm was called about fifteen minutes later for additional manpower.
In total, 40 personnel responded to this fire, on 18 NOFD units.
