he's going to be ok.

This poor guy's oxygen tank caught on fire and then his chair caught on fire and then his wall/curtains caught on fire and then he fell out of his chair and couldn't move... BUT the fire department got there quickly and they got him out safely and saved his house. I think that this is pretty great and maybe someday I can do a story about some of the great saves the emergency personnel pull off that no one ever hears about.
