One of two people injured in the wildfire that burned near several Washington Terrace homes on Monday has died, a family member said.

According to Bryan Burrell, his father, Ted, was originally transported to the hospital with what he was told were minor injuries. However, after arriving at the hospital, Bryan learned his father’s injuries were more severe, and he died at 7 p.m. Monday.

It’s not known where Burrell was located when he was injured, and officials have yet to confirm the death.

Burrell’s death is the first fatality known to be connected to a wildfire in Utah this year. Four firefighters lost their lives battling the Knowles Fire on the Colorado side of the Utah-Colorado border last month.
