 The State Fire Marshal's Office is being called in to help investigate a fatal fire in Belmont County.

Fire Marshal's Spokeswoman Lyn Tolan says investigators are being asked to help determine the origin of the fire at a home on Scotts Lane in Bridgeport.

The fire happened early Sunday morning.

Tolan says there was a smoke detector in the home but investigators don't know if it was working.

One adult male was killed in the fire.

Another adult was injured, but was treated and released from the hospital.

Their names are not being released yet.
