Rush hour motorists on I-10 were impacted by a fire involving trash and discarded tires near a New Orleans East RV park yesterday as it sent plumes of dark smoke blowing across the interstate.
The two-alarm fire started at 5:26 p.m., on the opposite side of a fence at the Riverboat RV Park at 6232 Chef Menteur Hwy. The park sits near the base of the westbound I-10 high rise bridge.
The New Orleans Fire Department said no injuries were reported and the cause of the fire remains under investigation.
