Man taken to hospital after fire at flat in Preston
A man was taken to hospital after becoming "disorientated" following a fire at his flat in Preston, say fire crews.
Two engines were called to the fire which started in the kitchen of a property at Centenary Flats on New Hall Lane at around 5pm on Sunday, September 24.
A spokesman for the fire service said: "We were called to a kitchen fire after some cooking had been left unattended.
"We had to break into the flat and lead a man to safety.
"The man was disorientated so he went to Royal Preston Hospital for a check up.
"We used a hose reel to put out the fire.
"Smoke damage was limited to one room."
Ambulance services confirmed that the man was not thought to be in a life-threatening condition.
