A fire official says that at least 10 firefighters hoisted Schock onto a custom-built wooden backboard designed for large people.
Authorities say he was taken to a nearby hospital about 10:12 p.m. Sunday, hours after firefighters got to his home. His condition was not immediately available.
Neighbors say Schock was reclusive, and that his health had deteriorated recently. They say he had been getting around on a wooden box with wheels.
