Man injured in house fire

FIREFIGHTERS are currently at the scene of a house fire where a man has suffered burns.

The small fire broke out in the loft of a property on Elizabeth Street, Goldthorpe, at 8am this morning.

A man in his 50s suffered minor burns, said a South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue spokesman, but was out of the house when crews arrived.

A crew from Dearne, Adwick and Edlington attended the scene and one station is still at the scene trying to determine the cause of the blaze.
