A man suffered burns to his head and smoke inhalation after trying to save his car from his blazing garage in Leigh Road, Bradford on Avon, today.

Four fire crews from Bradford on Avon, Trowbridge, Corsham and Melksham were called to the fire at 11.30am, as well as an Incident Command Unit from Devizes.

Crews used four breathing apparatus, two hose jets and one main jet and put the fire out in one hour, preventing it from spreading the house attached to the garage.

The man was treated at the scene and taken to Royal United Hospital, Bath by land ambulance. His car and garage were destroyed by the fire.

The cause of the fire is currently being investigated.
