Man Rushes Back into Burning House to Save What Matters Most: His Xbox

If your house was on fire, what would you save? Well, when one Kansas man found himself in that situation this week, his house going up in flames, he rushed back inside in order to get his Xbox. Now, that’s some gamer commitment.

He woke up early Friday, saw fire spreading through his house, and bolted outside without a second thought. That second thought would come later on, when he decided to run back in for the Xbox. After he emerged from the house with the Xbox, fire officials determined he “suffered smoke inhalation.” The official cause of the fire was a problem with the electrical junction box.

It is not known at this point whether his ability to navigate through a burning house was a skill he picked up playing Call of Duty.
