DENHAM SPRINGS - A fire in a mobile home early Monday morning left a 7-year-old dead. 

According to the State Fire Marshal, the Livingston Fire District responded to a house fire on Caliente Avenue in Denham Springs just after midnight Monday. 

Crews found the boy in a hallway while clearing out the home. He did not survive.

Fire investigators said the fire started in the kitchen area of the home. Investigators found multiple power strips, extension cords and decorative lights around the home that were sharing outlets with high-wattage appliances. 

The State Fire Marshal said "avoid long-term use of extension cords and be aware of the wattage limitations of those cords and power strips to avoid overloading them which can cause overheating and become a fire hazard."
