BALTIMORE (AP) - A man who suffered severe burns while trying to save his neighbor from her burning Baltimore home is now on life support.

News outlets report Pierre Gibbons’ son, Jeremiah M. Gibbons, said on Facebook Thursday that his father suffered burns to 70% of his body and is intensive care at Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center.

The 57-year-old Pierre Gibbons was hurt while carrying his neighbor out of the basement of her burning home on Sept. 23. Video shows a man running into a building outlined in illuminated smoke. He made it to the first floor before he collapsed. WJZ-TV reports the woman made it out of the home.

City fire department spokesman Blair Adams says the elder Gibbons has worked as a department firefighter and EMT for about four years.
