OAKDALE, La. (KLFY) -- A disabled woman and her friend died in a house fire in Oakdale on Tuesday, authorities said.
Oakdale Fire Department responded to a call at around 8:45 p.m. Tuesday for a house fire located in the 200 block of Canal Street.
Authorities said firefighters spotted a man through a bedroom window and pulled him from the fire, but first responders were unable to revive him. Firefighters later found a second victim in a bathroom.
While official identification and cause of death are pending with the parish coroner’s office, at this time, the victims are believed to be a 35-year-old disabled woman, who was renting the home, and a 61-year-old male friend visiting at the time of the fire.
Following an assessment of the scene, deputies of the State Fire Marshal determined the fire began in a dining room area. While the investigation into the exact cause of the fire continues, deputies have been unable to rule out the possibility of unsafe smoking practices, unattended candles and/or an electrical malfunction as potential contributing factors.
Authorities said deputies were unable to locate working smoke alarms in the home.
