GLEN BURNIE, Md. — A 64-year-old Glen Burnie man was rushed to a hospital Sunday morning after suffering burns and cardiac arrest, fire officials said.

Anne Arundel County firefighters responded just before 10 a.m. to the 800 block of Scott Circle where they found the man unresponsive and with burns on his face.

He was taken to Baltimore Washington Medical Center in Glen Burnie with life-threatening injuries. He was revived and was reported in critical condition Sunday evening.

The victim had been smoking in bed while on oxygen, fire officials said. The oxygen ignited, causing the burns.
