One man is dead after a house fire. It broke out Wednesday night in 1400 West Brower.

Neighbors called the fire department around 10 p.m., saying that flames were coming out the back of the house. Crews arrived within minutes and quickly put out the fire.

A man his forties was unresponsive in one of the front bedrooms. Crews performed CPR, but it was too late. The victim's name has not been released.

The fire marshal is now trying to determine the cause.

"We don't know yet whether it had working smoke alarms," said Springfield Fire Chief David Hall. "That's something the investigators will be checking out"

The home is a total loss.

This is the sixth deadly fire in Springfield in 2010. In 2009, there were three.
