The department said they located an adult male victim who was sleeping in the garage, being used as a living space.
The man was unconscious as firefighters removed him from the building. CPR was established and the man was transported to the hospital.
“No working smoke alarms were heard or located inside the “residence” and without the aggressive efforts of the crews, this could have proved fatal,” IFD said.
The man remains in critical condition but is alert.
