Laramie County Fire District#1 and the Laramie County Sheriff's Office say an elderly Laramie County man died on  Friday in a Mitchell Court house fire that apparently started as he was trying to thaw water lines underneath the house.

The fire followed two days of extreme sub-zero temperatures that very likely were responsible for freezing the pipes.
