New Orleans firefighters battled an early morning fire at an abandoned apartment complex in the 13500 block of Chef Menteur Highway.

“When firefighters arrived on the scene at 4:31 a.m., they saw flames in the front of the large complex near the center in an elevator shaft,” said an NOFD press release. “Before firefighters could enter the building, an adult male standing on the third floor began to call to them. The adult male then met firefighters on the first floor before they could enter the structure. Fire crews began to extinguish the fire and search the building for any other people. The man stated he was homeless and had been living in the complex for some time.”


No one else was found inside the burning building. No firefighters were injured in the blaze.
