    Nottoway Plantation Fire: One Year Later
    May 14 2026
    In this episode, Kiran Chawla is joined by Megan Kelly as they reflect on the tragic fire that engulfed the historic Nottoway Plantation in Louisiana exactly one year ago. The fire ignited on May 15th 2025, sending shockwaves through the community as what started as a manageable blaze rapidly escalated into a devastating inferno.

    Firefighters faced numerous challenges, including a lack of adequate water pressure and the building's age, which lacked modern fire safety codes. Kiran and Megan delve into how these factors contributed to the fire's rapid spread and the emotional toll it took on those connected to this symbol of Louisiana's complex history.
