GRAHAM, Wash. (AP) — An 11-year-old girl rescued from a burning home by firefighters in western Washington has died.
The News Tribune reports in a story on Saturday that the Pierce County Sheriff’s Department confirmed the death.
Authorities say the girl was unable to escape on her own due to a disability. She was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle where she later died.
Authorities say her 80-year-old grandmother had briefly left to buy groceries and returned to find the house on fire.
