## Resource

A lightning strike ignited a fast-spreading fire at the Chateau Carmel Apartments in New Orleans East, prompting a two-alarm response and forcing four residents to evacuate. Though no one was injured, firefighters battled the blaze for over an hour, containing it by 2:47 AM. Damage was concentrated on two empty third-floor units, but smoke and water affected multiple floors. The Red Cross is now assisting displaced residents as the community works to recover from this unexpected disaster.
