    Crews from the Baltimore County Fire Department were forced to remove doors from the apartment and use a sling provided by the aquarium and a truck to move John Keitz, 38, from his home on Kavanaugh Road in Dundalk.

    The family asked for help so he could make it to a doctor's appointment for a weight-related medical procedure, according to a report.

    Keitz is at Bayview Hospital, where he is being treated for asthma and fluid build-up.

    Neighbors said Kietz was involved in a similar rescue about six years ago.
