A thirty-year-old man is currently in stable condition at the Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre after sustaining burns during a house fire in All Saints just before midnight.

Reports indicate that the blaze engulfed and destroyed a wooden structure, before spreading to a nearby shop. Both buildings were extensively damaged as firefighters battled to contain the flames.

The injured man reportedly suffered serious burns to both hands. Emergency Medical Services (EMS) responded swiftly to the scene and transported him to the hospital, where he is receiving treatment for what have been described as minor burns overall.

The cause of the fire remains unknown at this time, and investigations are expected to determine how the blaze started.
