An out-of-state rescue team helped save the family dog last night in Laplace.

Crews out of Texas from the Central Texas Strike Team (Travis County ESD 1, Round Rock FD, Austin FD, Kyle FD, and Bexar County ESD 7) are in town assisting with post-Hurricane Ida aftermath in St. John Parish. 

The team responded to a house fire in the 1700 block of West Frisco Drive last night.  The family pet was safely rescued from the home; no one was injured.  Fire investigators say they believe the possible cause could be related to power being recently turned back on in the area.
