LAKE CHARLES, La.— A Memorial Day house fire trapped a pregnant woman and her 2-year-old son in a bedroom. The Lake Charles Fire Department rescued them, but it wasn’t easy.
“We were having problems finding them because of the heavy smoke,” Rescue Crew Captain Paul Guidry of the LCFD said. “We were real worried that we were too late.”
The woman and her son suffered from smoke inhalation and were transferred to care centers in Baton Rouge. Both are being kept in ICU as a precaution due to the woman’s pregnancy and the young age of her son.
