Louisiana Woman Dies in December 2 Camper Fire, Authorities Still Investigating the Cause
Gonzales, Louisiana – The Louisiana State Fire Marshal (LASFM) revealed on December 2, 2022, that deputies are still investigating a deadly camper fire in Gonzales, Louisiana that claimed the life of a female occupant.
According to authorities, Ascension Parish Fire District #7 responded to a report of a camper fire in the 42000 block of Lillie Babin Road shortly after 1 a.m. on Wednesday, November 30. When firefighters arrived, they discovered a female victim near the front entrance of the camper’s remnants.
Official identification and cause of death are pending with the Ascension Parish Coroner’s Office, although the victim is thought to be a 47-year-old camper home resident.
LASFM deputies confirmed the fire started in the camper’s bedroom area after assessing the situation and collecting witness accounts. At this time, deputies have been unable to rule out various potential origins of the fire, including electrical, smoking, and candle-related reasons.
Deputies were unable to establish the presence of functional smoke alarms in the camper once more. The LASFM reminds all Louisiana residents that smoke alarms can mean the difference between life and death in a fire emergency, regardless of the kind of residence.
