The man in his mid-70s suffered second-degree burns to his back, arms and head when he opened the door to the garage and flames erupted at his home on Spangle Drive near Lake Mead Boulevard and Torrey Pines Drive.
Investigators think the open door allowed oxygen to fuel a smoldering fire, igniting a flash that burned him.
