A 19-year-old mother died in a fatal fire in Anchorage but her 2-year-old daughter was rescued.
According to a family member of survivor Aaron Elia, desperate attempts were made to save both of the women who died in the early Saturday morning fire. While authorities have not released their names, Elia’s uncle and Anchorage resident Glenn Westdahl said in an interview on Monday that one of the victims was Elia’s daughter, 19-year-old Autumn Beans of St. Mary’s.
According to Westdahl, Elia woke up early Saturday morning and realized the apartment was on fire. He managed to grab his granddaughter, Maggie, and knock on several neighbors’ doors to alert them to the flames. By the time he went back to his own apartment, he was already injured, and the unit was too hot to get inside.
Elia is being treated at Alaska Native Medical Center for burns to over 30% of his body. His recovery is expected to be a long one.
