BOUNTIFUL, Utah, Nov. 16, 2023 (Gephardt Daily) — What started out as a seemingly minor call turned into something more serious for firefighters.
“Fatal residential structure fire in Bountiful this afternoon,” the South Davis Metro Fire Service Area said on social media Thursday night.
Crews were originally dispatched to a call describing heavy smoke coming from the chimney and attic eaves of a residence. Unfortunately, crews encountered a deceased occupant inside who was unable to get out of the structure in time.
“Crews were able to extinguish the fire and will remain on scene to assist in the on-going fire investigation,” the department said in the post just after 8 p.m.
