(05-19) 17:45 PDT SAN FRANCISCO -- Daniel Bateman came to San Francisco from the San Fernando Valley to study nursing, but after Monday, he is thinking about a career change - to firefighting.
Bateman, a gangly 19-year-old who moved from Woodland Hills four months ago and spends his time skateboarding and flipping burgers at the In-N-Out at Fisherman's Wharf, is being called a hero. Fire officials said it was his quick thinking that saved a neighbor's life after the man's kitchen caught fire around 4 a.m. Monday in their Richmond District apartment building.
The victim, Jim Moyles, 50, was in critical condition late Monday at St. Francis Memorial Hospital with second- and third-degree burns over 20 percent of his body.
