MORGANZA - Pointe Coupee Parish firefighters put out a house fire early Wednesday morning on Mitchell Lane.
Officials said it took firefighters more than an hour-and-a-half to extinguish the blaze. Two adult occupants of the house and their dog got out before the fire department arrived.
Investigators said the fire was caused by a busted water line on a hot water heater located in an outdoor closet near a bedroom. The leak entered an outlet and caused it to short out and set the house ablaze.
