A man has been injured by smoke inhalation following a fire in his ground-floor flat located on Calle Joaquín Chapaprieta in Torrevieja, according to information provided by the Provincial Fire Consortium.
The fire broke out in the early hours of yesterday morning, Tuesday 3rd November, at around 2.00 am, apparently after the man left a pot on the cooker and a large amount of smoke began to fill the property.
Following the arrival of the emergency services, rescuers managed to reach the man, who required treatment for smoke inhalation. He was subsequently transferred to hospital.
Firefighters from the Torrevieja station brought him out of the dwelling in a dazed but conscious state. The kitchen was the area of the home most affected by the incident, according to the same sources.
The operational response involved a heavy urban pump, a corporal and four firefighters, as well as a command and control unit with a sergeant.
