Man dies in Mont. house fire

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — Authorities say a 25-year-old man is dead after a house fire in the southeastern Montana town of Ekalaka.

Carter County Sheriff Rusty Jardee says Kyle Boland's body was recovered from the wreckage of the fire, which was reported at about 6:30 a.m. Friday. It took firefighters about four hours to get a handle on the blaze.

Investigators say a wood fire inside the home probably spread and ignited the rest of the structure.

Jardee says the house ``was pretty well totaled,' although an exact damage estimate wasn't available Friday evening.
