A local man and his family are homeless today after a fire razed his Tanglewood Drive home early Sunday morning.

Home at the time was, Woodfaulk, his girlfriend Bianca Henderson, and her two children, a two-year-old and an eight-year-old.
Ouachita Parish fire officials suspect arson as a cause of the fire.
Woodfaulk says he and a neighbor had an exchange of words earlier, but he doesn’t know if the two incidents are connected.
Fire Department officials suspect that the automobile fire may have been the result of arson.
Woodfaulk, Henderson, and the kids have been living in hotel rooms provided this week by the Red Cross and the New Tabernacle Baptist Church, but the family is seeking housing. They lost all of their possessions in the fire, including clothing, food, and furniture.
