No injuries were reported; the occupants of the dwelling were not home at the time of the fire, having left for work around 5 a.m. Lafayette fire investigators determined the fire originated in the garage. The cause of the fire is under investigation
Another fire occurred at 7:49 a.m. in the 100 block of Triwood Circle where a shed was fully on fire when firefighters arrived on scene.
Fire crews were able to contain the fire before it spread to the home. The shed and contents sustained heavy fire damage.
The owner noticed the shed on fire and called 911. Firefighters arrived on scene within five minutes. The fire was brought under control within 15 minutes. No injuries were reported.
Lafayette fire investigators determined the fire started in the tool shed. Investigators are examining the charging system and lithium battery as a possibly cause of the fire.
