Two fire appliances from Honiton were mobilised to a report of a fire in a flat in St Pauls Road in Honiton.

Upon arrival crews found a man suffering from smoke inhalation and requested an ambulance.

The fire started in the grill pan within a top floor flat that was out on arrival which resulted in the property being heavily smoke logged.

Crews used breathing apparatus to ventilate the property. The cause of the fire is thought to be accidental.
