He suffered smoke inhalation and was treated by paramedics at the scene.
A second man was also rescued from the fourth floor flat, but North Yorkshire Fire Service said he was uninjured.
The crews responding used four sets of breathing apparatus, a hose reel, lighting and a positive pressure ventilation fan as they put the fire out and cleared smoke from the flat.
A spokesman today said the cause of the fire was believed to be an oven which was left unattended while turned on.
