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.
