At 3:46 pm on 21 November, Eastwood fire crews were mobilised to support Ilkeston Community Fire Station and Alfreton Community Fire Station at an address on Park Street, Heanor.
Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service said that the incident came through as an explosion, but on arrival crews found the house to be well alight and quickly requested additional support and Ripley Fire Station were also sent.
A spokesperson said;
‘Crews initially found it tricky to get close to the incident due to parked cars but once in attendance they sent firefighters wearing breathing apparatus to search the property and extinguish the fire.
‘Crews worked well together to bring the fire under control.
‘The occupier suffered some burns during the fire and due to that the police are investigating the cause.’
