Landry said the first units to arrive saw high flames burning in the grass and brush and immediately called for a second alarm.
Forty firefighters eventually responded and the fire was declared under control at 5:10 a.m.
Landry said at least 3.2 acres burned. Landry said no people were present when firefighters first responded.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
