BATON ROUGE, LA (NBC33) — A Baton Rouge woman was sent to the hospital yesterday after her home caught on fire.
The Baton Rouge Fire Department was called to Harvey Drive shortly after 4:00 p.m. When firefighters arrived the fire had spread from a utility storeroom to the attic of the home. Investigators believe the fire started in the storeroom, then spread to the carport and traveled to the main home.

The total damage is estimated at $45,000.
Investigators are still working to determine the source of the blaze.
