600 pound man cut from home... due to hoarding!

Hazmat crews were called to help rescue a 600-pound man from his Upper Burrell, Pennsylvania home Monday afternoon.
Crews at the scene said they had to cut a hole through the side of the home to get him out because they couldn't get through the clutter inside his house to get to him.
A flatbed truck was used to drive the man from his house to an ambulance.
The man was in need of medical attention and had to be transported to a local hospital.
The entire ordeal, which started around 2:30 p.m., lasted hours.
Neighbors like Lee Hanyo said they were just glad to see the man was alive.
"It's very sad and shouldn't have come to that, but at least they got him out and he's alright," Hanyo said. "That's all that really matters."

yeah at least he's alright; never mind the fact he now has a huge bill owed to the city.
