RENTON — Neighbors heard cries for help, broke a window and helped a firefighter rescue a man from a burning home near Renton in the Lake Desire area.

The man reportedly suffered burns on his back today and was taken to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle in critical condition.

Neighbor Nick Vacca is a former firefighter and had turned a garden hose on the fire with his son Nick Vacca Jr. after they discovered it about 4 a.m. When they saw their neighbor at a window they broke it and pulled out the man, who is in his 60s.

Firefighters called a second alarm on the fire because of rough terrain and little access to water.
