SOUTH SALT LAKE, UTAH – November 11, 2015 (Gephardt Daily) – An auto repairman who was severely burned last week while repairing a vehicle passed away from his injuries on Monday.
According to Deputy South Salt Lake Fire Chief Terry Addison, Brian Ennis, of Salt Lake City, and a friend were replacing a fuel pump on a car inside an auto shop at 166 Hermansen Circle when a fuel spill ignited a nearby space heater.
Addison said Ennis was taken to the hospital in extremely critical condition with third degree burns over most of his body.
