THIBODAUX, La. — A fire at a Thibodaux laundromat was quickly extinguished Sunday night. Firefighters say at 8:36 p.m., they were dispatched to the 500 block of St. Mary Street after a dryer caught fire. It happened at a commercial laundromat located in a strip mall. Firefighters say they found the dryer and contents smoldering; smoke was coming out of the building and from the roof line.
Images from the surveillance camera inside the building show a customer battling the fire using a fire extinguisher that was located in the building. Firefighters say this action stopped the fire from spreading and is a great example of why everyone should have a working fire extinguisher in you business or home.
