The Louisiana State Fire Marshal’s Office is currently investigating a house explosion that took place Saturday morning, Aug. 31, that left one person dead and five injured.
SFM Public Affairs Director Ashley Rodrigue says Beauregard Parish Sheriff’s Office deputies assisted firefighters from Beauregard Fire District No. 2 with a residential explosion that took place just before 10 a.m. in the 1100th block of Pullin Rd in Ragley.
Rodrigue says a 16-year-old juvenile died as a result of the fire. Five other occupants were injured.
“This is an unimaginable tragedy for this family and community,” said State Fire Marshal Bryan J. Adams.” This investigation is still very much active, but we have a top-notch team working diligently to get as many answers for this family as possible.”
The other injured occupants are currently at a local hospital in unknown conditions, according to SFM.
