First of all, this stuff is way off-topic.
Second, your "question" is self-answering. If he was standing next to
the building, he wasn't standing by one of the jet-fuel fires, which
were burning higher up, where the planes hit. So those wouldn't have
affected him.
Assuming the story as related is accurate, he probably got hit with a
flash fire as the building collapsed. There was a whole lot of chaos
going on; these things aren't neat and orderly.
Third, the jet fuel fires probably weren't the only fires. A COMMERCIAL
JET AIRPLANE hit the building! If the impact alone - not to mention the
resulting explosion - didn't create some non-fuel fires, THAT would be
a matter for suspicion. As it is, the WTC rubble didn't stop smoldering
for several months. And I *know* that wasn't all from jet fuel.
Now I anxiously wait for someone to demand an explanation of Satan's
face in the cloud of smoke....
