The New Orleans Fire Department (NOFD) responded to a two-alarm fire in the Algiers neighborhood on February 19, 2025. The fire, which broke out in a single-story, wood-framed single-family home, was reported at 10:23 p.m. and brought under control at 12:19 a.m. (1)

Eighteen NOFD units and forty-seven personnel were dispatched to the scene. The cause of the fire is currently under investigation, and no injuries were reported to either the firefighters or the residents of the home.

While the specific details of the incident are not yet available, the NOFD's quick response to this fire is reminiscent of other recent incidents. For instance, in December 2023, the department extinguished a two-alarm fire in the Uptown area, which also saw flames erupting from both the first and second floors of a structure under construction. In that case, the NOFD personnel successfully controlled the spread of the fire without any reported injuries (2).

The importance of the NOFD's work cannot be overstated, as even a seemingly small fire can quickly escalate into a larger disaster. The department's expertise and resources are essential in protecting the lives and property of New Orleans residents.
