WALKER - A duplex off Walker Road North is considered a total loss after a fire early Tuesday morning. 

The Livingston Parish Fire Protection District 4 Chief James Wascom said his crews were called to the scene at 6:01 a.m. and were on the scene by 6:05. 

There were no injuries reported, he said, but the duplex that caught fire is being considered a total loss. 

Firefighters were able to keep the flames from spreading to the other duplexes nearby. 

Investigators said the cause of the fire is suspected to be accidental from a firepit in the back of the building. 

Community member Kelsey Wise posted that she is helping to get the victims of the fire, including an 8-year-old son, clothes and furniture to replace the belongings lost in the blaze. 

The family needs women's size extra large/16 pants and large or XL tops, as well as XL underwear. The family also needs men's large sized tops, pants and underwear. The son needs medium sized clothes.
