A fire in a Carmichael apartment this morning burned a man over 90 percent of his body, Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District officials said.
The man, who is in his early 30s, was taken to UC Davis Medical Center with severe burns.
Firefighters were able to quickly extinguish the blaze in the apartment in the 4800 block of Marconi Avenue about 8:20 a.m. The man was found during a search of the apartment.
“He is still alive but he had very bad burns,” said Fire Capt. Christian Pebbles, Metro Fire spokesman.
A neighbor heard a smoke alarm going off for 20 minutes but it did not awaken the resident, who works nights. Pebbles said it is a good idea to have more than one smoke alarm.
“The more noise you have, the more opportunity you have to get out,” said Pebbles.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.

The Sacramento ceremony will include Special Olympic athletes draping a picture of Mrs. Shriver with Special Olympic medals. The portrait was painted by a client of Aim Higher Adult Disabilities Services.
Mrs. Shriver died Tuesday at the age of 88. She founded the Special Olympics and championed rights for the mentally disabled.
