Man suffers burns following explosions at house

A man's been treated for burns following a series of explosions at a house in Exmouth last night.

At its height, crews from five fire stations tackled the blaze, at a large Victorian house in Hartley Road, near the centre of town, around 8:00pm.

Eye-witnesses reported gas canisters, or possibly lighter fuel cylinders, exploding. 

Nearby residents were evacuated from their homes and the road was cordoned off for several hours.
