W.V. FIRE VICTIM SERIOUS BUT STABLE
WOMAN WAS IN BATHROOM, SON IN BEDROOM WHEN BLAZE STARTED
A West Valley woman was in serious but stable condition Monday after a weekend house fire that claimed the life of her son.
Margie Vanderveen, 50, 3143 S. 4060 West, was being treated at the University Hospital Burn Center for second-degree burns, mostly on her face and hands, and smoke inhalation, a hospital spokeswoman said. Her son, Steven Vanderveen, 19, who was mentally retarded, died in the fire that engulfed the family's two-story, split entry frame structure about 7:30 p.m. Saturday, said West Valley Fire Marshal John Blundell.
Blundell said Monday that an investigation shows Vanderveen was in a bathroom and her son was in a bedroom when the fire broke out in a corner of the living room.
"We have narrowed the point of origin of the fire to a corner of the living room where a small TV was setting on top of a stereo cabinet. Until we can have this stuff analyzed at a lab, we can't tell whether the TV caused the fire. We don't know if the TV was on at the time of the fire," Blundell said.
The fire marshal said the handicapped youth was severely burned at the age of 3 in another fire and was very scared of fire, resisting efforts by his mother to get him from the house Saturday night.
When Vanderveen's efforts failed, she ran from the house to get help. By that time neighbors realized there was a fire in the home and were trying to enter the home. Two neighbors, Robbie and Steve Ruttenbur, tried to fight the fire with garden hoses and sprayed Gramm McDonald, another neighbor, with a hose so he could enter the home through a basement window. But he was driven back by smoke and heat, Blundell said.
He said firefighters were hampered in their efforts to fight by the blaze by a water main break.
"But we still had enough water coming through (the line). In addition, we had three pumper trucks, all of which carry additional water, on the scene," Blundell said.
When three units from the fire department arrived on the scene, the home was fully engulfed in fire. Flames were coming out all the upstairs windows, Blundell said. Four firefighters suffered minor injuries in the blaze.

VICTIM’S FATHER SAYS SHE DIDN’T FEEL AT RISK
The father of a woman fatally shot Monday during a fight with her estranged husband said he can't understand the circumstances of his daughter's violent death.
Larey Belka said he's shocked by the tragic events that took place Monday evening at the West Valley home he shared with his daughter. Amy D. Vanderveen, 21, died about 7 p.m. Monday at LDS Hospital after suffering a single gunshot wound to the right side of her head, West Valley police Capt. Steve Shreeve said. The fatal bullet was fired from a 9mm handgun.
Vanderveen and her estranged husband, Laurance Vanderveen, 22, Kearns, were apparently speaking together inside the West Valley house, 2515 W. 3077 South, when shots rang out, Shreeve said. A 17-year-old baby sitter witnessed the shooting, although there were no children in the home at the time.
Laurance Vanderveen fled the scene and was located about 45 minutes later when police investigated a one-car accident at the intersection of 2100 South and 7200 West. The officers discovered Vanderveen had apparently shot himself in the head while driving, Shreeve said. The Kearns man was in critical but stable condition Tuesday at University Hospital.
On Tuesday, Belka and the woman's extended family faced the daunting tasks of organizing her funeral and determining the future care of her children. Belka spoke of his daughter as an avid rollerskater with a fun-loving spirit.
"She loved going to places like Lagoon or 49th Street Galleria," he said.
The children, ages 3 and 4, stayed at their great-grandmother's house Tuesday, with several family members having offered to assume their care, Belka said.
"They don't know she's dead, as far as I know," he initially said. Later, he said he believed one of the children had possibly been told.
Police are familiar with the Vanderveens' ongoing domestic disputes and, prior to Amy Vanderveen's death, had taken a report on a domestic-related threat made against the woman.
However, Belka said he doubted his daughter realized the degree of danger.
"She didn't think he'd kill her. As far as I know, she didn't," he said.
