NEW ORLEANS -- State fire investigators have found where the fire that engulfed the Irish Bayou Truck Stop & Casino last week began but have not yet determined a cause.
The three-alarm fire started around 5 p.m. on May 31 in a wall that separated the truck stop area from the casino. While the cause of the fire remains undetermined, a spokesperson for the Louisiana Fire Marshal’s Office said investigators cannot rule out electrical-related issues, and the investigation continues.
