One killed in Ogden fire, another critically injured

A fire Saturday afternoon at an Ogden storage facility has left one man dead and another injured.

Just before 1 p.m., Ogden police and firefighters were called to the blaze near 2900 Pennsylvania Avenue.

As fire crews worked, they found two men inside the burning storage unit. One of them was reported dead at the scene, and the other was taken to the hospital in critical condition, according to a Facebook post from Ogden police.

Three ladder trucks and one fire engine brought the blaze under control, according to Twitter posts from the city’s Fire Department.

The department says the cause of the deadly fire is being investigated. At this point, police said they don’t suspect “anything suspicious" caused the blaze.
