A house fire in Fulton County has claimed the life of a Mammoth Spring woman.

Fulton County Sheriff Al Roork said in a press release Tuesday his department received a 911 call on April 1 reporting a house fire at a residence located at 215 Cochran Avenue in Mammoth Spring.

The caller, 28-year-old Amy Jordan Brown, said her house was on fire, and she could not get out.

When personnel from the Mammoth Spring Fire Department and law enforcement arrived, the house was heavily involved, and they could see Brown on the bathroom floor as they looked through a window.

Brown was pulled from the home, but was already deceased. An autopsy report indicated she died from smoke inhalation.

A second occupant of the home, 39-year-old Edward Alan Littlejohn, was taken to the Fulton County Hospital and then transferred by Survival Flight to Mercy Hospital in Springfield.

A second male living at the residence, 36-year-old Derek Allen Rogers, was arrested and charged with possession of methamphetamine and possession of drug paraphernalia with purpose to use meth.
