The Office of the State Fire Marshal is reminding you of the importance of having working smoke alarms in the wake of a pair of deadly house fires this week. A 77-year-old man was killed near Shreveport Sunday afternoon, and a 76-year-old woman was killed in Catahoula Parish Monday night. Ashley Rodrigue with the State Fire Marshal’s Office says neither home had a working smoke alarm.
While cold wasn’t a factor in either of those fires, sub-freezing temperatures are expected tonight for North Louisiana. National Weather Service meteorologist Ryan Knapp says we’ll see a brief warm-up on Friday before we get hit with another shot of cold air this weekend.
