The back of the house and a sleepout were well involved in fire when the Fire Service arrived.

The person was alerted to the fire by their smoke alarms.

They were taken to Timaru Hospital by St John Ambulance.

No other persons were in the house when the fire broke out, the Fire Service spokesman said.
