4/25/18 – A person believed to be the complex manager at Safeguard Self Storage in Baton Rouge, La., is in critical condition after a fire started earlier today inside the facility residence. Upon arrival at about 1:15 a.m., firefighters saw smoke coming from the second floor and forced entry into the building at 10811 Coursey Blvd., according to the source. Once inside, they found the unnamed victim unresponsive near the second-floor stairs. They performed CPR on the person, who was later taken to a local hospital.
Although the fire is still under investigation, officials believe it may have been caused by a cooking accident, the source reported.
