(Some words not found in UHB: again/more this speaking and=this he/it_came and,said fire ʼElohīm fell from/more_than the=heavens and,burned_up in/on/at/with,sheep and,in/on/at/with,servants and,consumed,them and,escaped, only I by,myself, to=announce to/for=you(fs) )
The terms burned up and consumed mean similar things. The second messenger is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: “completely burned up the sheep and the servants”
1:16 The fire of God . . . from heaven (20:26) might have been lightning (Lev 10:2; 1 Kgs 18:38; 2 Kgs 1:10-14), wildfire (Num 11:1-3), or volcanic activity (Gen 19:24).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
