Firefighters rescued a San Jose man from his home Friday as it was engulfed in flames.
Retired San Jose man, Robert Kent, was on the floor of his kitchen, unconscious, surrounded by flames, when the firefighters found him. Then According to San Jose fire Captain Rob Piper, the firefighters were able to pull Kent to safety.
Piper said that the fire started in the kitchen and spread to the attic of Kent's single-story house on Annapolis Way. There was no smoke detector so the fire wasn't reported until around 3 p.m. When the San Jose Fire Department finally arrived there was smoke throughout the house. Piper also said the cause of the fire is unclear and under investigation.
Kent has second and third-degree burns on half of his body according to Piper. He was taken to Valley Medical Center in San Jose and a nursing supervisor there said that Kent is listed in grave condition.

Good job. Just needs a few small tweaks:
ReplyDelete* I'd make it "his Anapolis Way home" in the lead. You've got the space.
* Retiree Robert Kent (you've already told me he's a San Jose man)
* Simplify: They were able to pull Kent to safety, according to San Jose fire Captain Rob Piper.
* Simplify: Piper said the cause of the fire is under investigation.
