A fifty-year old man was rescued by firefighters from his burning home on Annapolis Way yesterday.
San Jose fire Captain Rob Piper attests that the victim, a retired Robert Kent, was found lying unconscious and surrounded by flames on his kitchen floor. Firefighters quickly pulled him to safety, but not before he had suffered second and third-degree burns on 50% of his body.
Apparently Kent did not have a fire alarm installed in his home, which prevented a prompt response from firefighters. By the time help arrived on the scene smoke had engulfed the entire single-story home and the fire within it had already spread to the attic.
Kent is currently being treated at Santa Clara Valley Medical Center where a nursing supervisor has commented that he is in grave condition.
