Fire destroys performer Jamie Bergeron’s home

Cajun musician Jamie Bergeron’s home on Higginbotham Road near Duson was destroyed by a fire that broke out early this morning.

Bergeron, an employee at Acadian Ambulance, was at work at the time. His mother was the only one home and made it out safely.

“Thanks to the dogs,” said Mire Fire Chief Shannon Richard, who received the call at 3:54 a.m.

Acadia Parish Sheriff’s Department spokesperson Maxine Trahan said she got the call at the same time and was told the house was already engulfed in flames.

Bergeron’s limo and his mother’s car were also destroyed.

Acadia Parish Fire Marshal Keith Reed is conducting an investigation into the cause of the fire.
