Firefighters rescued a San Jose man from his burning home at 3.p.m yesterday after a fire, which started in the kitchen, spread to the attic and engulfed his house with smoke, according to the San Jose Fire Department.
Robert Kent, who is in his 50’s and is retired, is in grave condition after suffering second and third-degree burns on 50 percent of his body, said a nursing supervisor at Valley Medical Center in San Jose.
Kent, who was found unconscious, was surrounded in flames while firefighters rescued him from the kitchen floor, said Capt. Rob Piper of the SJFD.
The fire from Kent’s single-story home, which did not have a smoke detector, is under investigation, Piper said.
