RENO, Nev. (AP) - A 58-year-old man has died after suffering third-degree burns to 90 percent of his body in a Reno apartment fire.
Police say Ronald Feemster died at California’s UC Davis Burn Center on Friday evening, a day after the blaze.
Another victim, 28-year-old Luke Mumui, remains in critical care at the burn center after also suffering third-degree burns to 90 percent of his body.
Police say the condition of 36-year-old Priscilla Endemann has been upgraded and she no longer is in intensive care at a Reno hospital.
Investigators say the fire in the center unit of a large two-story apartment complex on Manhattan Street originated in the garage while the occupants were repairing a vehicle.
They say the fire was most likely caused by fuel vapors inside the garage.
