Posted/updated on: January 19, 2011 at 3:47 pm



LUFKIN – An Angelina County man was killed in a morning fire outside Lufkin Tuesday. According to KETK, sheriff’s investigators say the blaze started in a subdivision near Twin Oaks Road just before 7 a.m. Authorities have withheld the man’s name until his family is notified. But investigators tell the Lufkin Daily News his pet was with him at the time of the fire. It was a neighbor who first noticed the blaze. Officials say the man tried to get inside the home, but his jacket caught fire at the front door. The cause of the fire is still under investigation, but officials say the mobile home was reduced to a charred shell. Because of the extent of the damage, fire investigators say it will be difficult to figure out what caused it.
