The two people that perished last month in a Ketchikan house fire have been identified by the blaze’s lone survivor. A memorial service is planned for the two victims later this week.
Jeanine Burbary credits her husband, Nick Burbary, with getting her out of the blaze alive.
“I would like people to know that he saved my life. And he died trying to save my daughter’s life,” she said in an interview Wednesday.
