A man set himself on fire after drilling in to a gas camping stove that he had been using to support a work bench.
Fire crews were called to Whitebirk Road, Blackburn, at 7pm on Sunday but the man had already extinguished the flames using a kettle full of water. He suffered burns to his right arm and singed his hair. He was taken to Royal Blackburn Hospital for treatment.
