Arizona Man Injured in Apartment Fire

Arizona firefighters rescued a man in Mesa, Arizona this morning after a neighbor reported seeing smoke coming out from around his apartment door. The man was found passed out on the floor and was rushed to the hospital. He is facing injuries from smoke inhalation and burns. Luckily, the fire did not spread to other units and the apartment's sole inhabitant appears to have survived the incident.

As of this afternoon, there is has been no determination as to what caused the fire.
