Area firefighters responded Saturday to a barge fire on the Mississippi River just above the Huey P.
Long Bridge, authorities said.
The Bridge City and Jefferson Parish Eastbank Consolidated Fire Departments dispatched firefighters just after 5 p.m and found two boats applying water to the barge just upriver from the bridge.
The parish fire crews, however, were not able to access the fire from the land, spokesperson Rachel Strassel said.
Kimberly Curth, a spokesperson for the Harbor Police and the Port of New Orleans, said a port fire boat responded to the fire, but she said the incident does not involve port facilities or property.
The U.S.
Coast Guard in New Orleans also received reports of the fire.
Petty Officer Cheyenne Basurto said at about 7:30 p.m. that the Coast Guard is on standby if assistance is necessary, but is not currently involved in the response.
No further information was available.
