Berwick Office Fire: River Water & Mystery | Baton Rouge News

A massive fire tore through a Berwick office building on Wednesday, forcing firefighters to draw water directly from the Atchafalaya River—no hydrants in sight. With help from Bayou Vista and Morgan City crews, they deployed every tool imaginable, including aerial trucks and ground monitors, to battle the blaze. But the mystery deepens: the building had no electricity running to it, prompting state fire marshals to investigate how the fire started. Two firefighters were injured—one with heat exhaustion, another with an eye injury—but both recovered. The cause remains under investigation.
