One person was killed in a house fire in Solomon early Tuesday morning.
According to the Dickinson County Sheriff’s Office, Tuesday at approximately 4:44 a.m. first responders were notified of a structure fire in the 200 block of West 6th Street in Solomon.
The residence was fully engulfed when firefighters and deputies arrived.
Deputies assisted an adult male from the residence through a window. Two adults and a juvenile were able to make it out of the burning structure safely. They notified firefighters and deputies that there was another female still trapped inside.
Deputies attempted to gain entry through a doorway and a window, but were unable to gain entry due to the intense heat and smoke.

The Office of the State Fire Marshal and the Sheriff’s Office are conducting a joint investigation.
The victim has been identified as 17-year-old Elizabeth Lillian Ohl. The cause of the fire is classified as undetermined, with multiple potential causes that could not be ruled out.
