A Shreveport family is without a home, after losing their house to a grease fire Sunday night. The fire happened around 6:30 p.m., on the 9000 block of Letha Loop, in the Southern Hills neighborhood. 

When firefighters arrived, the house was fully engulfed. Neighbors said the flames were about 20 ft. high.

"The house was just blazing up," said Mario Carson, who lives around the corner from the home.  


"It gone over the roof, it was going up to the top of the trees here, so it was a pretty intense fire at that particular time," said John Spitale, who lives two doors down the street.


Firefighters said they were able to get the fire under control in 30 minutes. They had to return Monday morning when the fire started to rekindle.


A family of four lived in the home. At the time of the fire, the woman and her two children were inside. They escaped without injury.


This is the fourth house fire that has happened within a mile radius of this home since the summer.
