Just after 0800 hours this morning, Portland firefighters from Station 5 responded to 4938 SW Barbur Blvd #8 on a cooking fire. They soon discovered a male in his early 70's that had received severe 3rd degree burns to over 50% of his body. The fire was out and contained to the stove top. The victim was quickly rushed to Emmanuel Burn Center in critical condition.
