JOU 61: News Story 1

A man was pulled from the flames of his burning house on Annapolis Way yesterday, by local firefighters.
Robert Kent, described by San Jose fire Captain Rob Piper as retired and in his 50’s, was found on the kitchen floor of his single-story home unconscious and has suffered second and third-degree burns to 50 percent of his body, said Piper.
Kent is said to be in grave condition at Valley Medical Center in San Jose, according to a nursing supervisor there.
The fire began in the kitchen before spreading up to the attic, at which point smoke engulfed the whole house. Captain Piper claimed the fire was reported at 3 p.m. and the home did not contain a smoke detector. The cause of the fire is under investigation, said Piper.
