El Paso County Sheriff’s Office deputies asked for the public’s help gathering information after a house fire in Green Mountain Falls turned deadly Tuesday morning.

Green Mountain Falls Fire Department responded to a 911 call around 3:48 a.m. at 6848 Howard St., where a house was engulfed in flames, killing one person inside, said Lt. Deborah Mynatt, spokeswoman for the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office.

The Green Mountain Falls Fire department requested a mutual aid response from the Sheriff’s Office, Colorado Spring Fire Department and several other agencies around 6 a.m. to assist in the fire investigation, Mynatt said.

The cause of the blaze remains under investigation .

The fire did not impact any other structures but did “creep up” toward a neighboring property, Mynatt said.

Another house in the neighborhood was destroyed from a fire nearly two years ago, Mynatt added.

Mike Calhoun, who lives next door to the house that burned Tuesday, said he was roused from a sound sleep to the noise of someone pounding on his front door. Another neighbor saw the flames next door and came to warn him.
