Winchester man suffers severe burns after falling in his fireplace
A WINCHESTER man was hospitalised last night (March 6) after falling into his electric fireplace.
The accident happened at the 69-year-old’s home in Sussex Street, Winchester, at around 9pm.
He suffered severe burns to his back and side and was taken to Royal Hampshire County Hospital by Hampshire Fire and Rescue.
Watch manager Chris Roper said: “The fire was switched off and both the fire and ambulance service were called. But due to a shortage of ambulances we took him to Winchester hospital.”
