Man injured in Innerwick fire
A 47-year-old man was taken to Edinburgh Royal Infirmary with burns to his hands after a blaze at a house in Innerwick on Sunday.
Lothian and Borders Fire and Rescue Service received the first of several 999 calls to a large shed at Kirk Brae at just after midday.
Fire crews from Dunbar and East Linton, and a senior officer, were mobilised to deal with the incident.
Group commander David Lockhart said: “On arrival, a 47-year-old man was identified as a casualty and treated by firefighters for burns until the arrival of the Scottish Ambulance Service. Firefighters were faced with a well developed fire which had started within a large garden shed and spread to the adjacent single storey semi-detached bungalow.”
