This was disclosed by Guinness World Records (GWR) in short text posted on its Twitter handle on Thursday.
Jonathan, 39 wore a protective suit and ran 272.25 metres (893 ft) while engulfed in flames, breaking the previous record of 204.23 metres (670 ft) set by Antony Britton of the United Kingdom.
Jonathan, in doing so, also broke the record for the fastest full body burn 100 metres sprint without oxygen, clocking in at 17 seconds, beating the previous record by 7.58 seconds.
Reports say the longest distance full body burn run without oxygen record is highly competitive and has changed hands seven times since 2009.
Jonathan ran over three times further than Keith Malcolm (UK) did when he originally set this record 14 years ago.
In addition to being a firefighter, Jonathan is also a professional stuntman.
According to him, he’s “always had a passion for fire,” and he’s “never stopped playing with it” ever since he was a child.
