Ville Platte Fire Claims Life
A man dies in an overnight house fire.

Andrew Garlow's body was found after firefighters were finally able to extinguish the blaze. The State Fire Marshall's Office is investigating, and they're taking a close look at a space heater they think was being used at the time of the fire. Officials say there were no working smoke alarms installed.
