WASHINGTON TERRACE, Weber County — As the investigation continues into Monday’s fire that edged up against a Washington Terrace neighborhood, one of the injury victims in the blaze has died.
Ted Burrell, 87, was injured in Monday’s fire and died later that night, two of his children told KSL, son Bryan Burrell and daughter Sabra Jouett. KSL reached out to the Weber County Sheriff’s Office for additional info.
Officials had said Monday’s fire injured a Weber County Sheriff’s Office deputy causing minor injuries and that another unidentified person had sustained undisclosed injuries. Burrell lived in the one home that sustained minor damage in the blaze.
The fire in an undeveloped area south of Washington Terrace in southern Weber County torched around 45 acres on Monday, skirting close to a residential area, but officials said later in the afternoon that it was largely under control. The blaze had prompted the temporary evacuation of many in the neighborhood.
