Firefighters pulled a firehose into the burning motel room and 'aggressively' extinguished the fire while searching for victims, SCFD said.
'Within seconds, units located the unconscious male in the room and carried him outside to waiting [paramedics],' SCFD said. 'Concurrently, incoming firefighters carried out a coordinated effort to ensure the fire had not spread to adjacent rooms while ensuring all occupants were out of harm.'
The victim was treated at the scene by paramedics and taken by ambulance to Dominican Hospital in Santa Cruz. There are no updates on the victim's condition.
