Cookstown pensioner treated for smoke inhalation after kitchen fire
An elderly man was treated for mild smoke inhalation after Cookstown firefighters were called to a kitchen blaze last night.
The crew wore breathing apparatus and used a hose-reel jet to extinguish the fire involving a fridge-freezer at a bunglow on Backlower Road, Killycolpy, around 11.30pm.
The 75-year-old man received oxygen therapy from personnel for mild smoke inhalation at the scene, according to the NI Fire and Rescue.
The cause of the fire appeared accidental.
