State wildlife officers are investigating the death of a homeless man who apparently fell overboard while trying to save another man from the waters of Ponce Inlet off the Volusia County coast.

A fire caused an estimated $80,000 in damages to a single-story home in DeLand on Wednesday afternoon, fire officials said.

Pointing to concerns about "obstruction and delay" during a state investigation, an appeals court today upheld an order blocking Allstate from selling new policies in Florida.
