Alex Haas, 26, suffered second- and third-degree burns over 90 percent of his body, his family said.

Haas underwent surgery Sunday night to get circulation back into his legs. Haas is still having trouble getting oxygen into his lungs, family members said.

Haas has been teaching English in Taiwan for almost a year.

Most of the family left New Hampshire on Sunday to be with Haas in Taiwan.

The family has launched a GoFundMe page to get help with medical and travel expenses.
