ELLICOTT, COLO. -- El Paso County Sheriff's deputies said they are investigating a house fire from earlier this week as possible arson.

According to deputies, a homeowner and two dogs escaped a burning home on Pipestern Drive in Ellicott unhurt after being woken up by a noise before realizing there was a fire inside around 2:54 a.m. Tuesday.

Firefighters got to the fire quickly and limited to primarily one room of the house. Investigators have since found evidence leading them to believe it may be arson.

Deputies are asking anyone who saw something suspicious in the area early Tuesday morning or knows anything about the fire to call them at (719) 390-5555.
