A MAN was taken to hospital at Warrington today after fire caused severe damage to his home.
The blaze was at a ground floor flat in Bexhill Avenue, Orford and started in the living room.
Firefighters wearing breathing apparatus tackled the outbreak with a
hosereel jet and later used a ventilation unit to clear smoke from the
premises. But there was severe smoke damage throughout the property and
a spokesman said it was now uninhabitable.
The man went to Warrington Hospital suffering the effects of smoke.
Cause of the fire is under investigation.
