At about 1:45 this afternoon we started getting calls from listeners about a possible fire at a plant in Westlake.

File this under unexplainable:  A Winnsboro woman ends up in the hospital Sunday night covered in third-degree burns.  She says she was attacked by three men in white hoodies.  On her car, someone has painted "KKK" and racial slurs.  Just when everyone's hackles get raised, authorities say that the truth was, she set HERSELF on fire.  Say what?
