Wiseman said the man had to use a fire extinguisher to fight his way upstairs and through flames and smoke to get to his mother. Fire crews arrived to find them outside. One of them was taken to a hospital as a precaution, the other turned down a trip to a hospital.
The fire, which gutted the kitchen and sent smoke throughout the house, caused an estimated $50,000 in damage, Wiseman said.
Crews initially were dispatched on a report of a structure fire with a person trapped.
