Appeal following fire at house

We are appealing for information following a house fire in Stoke-on-Trent.

We went to an address near Hunters Way, Penkhull, just after 1am this morning (Friday 7 June) alongside our colleagues from Staffordshire Fire and Rescue Service.

A house was found well-alight and was extinguished by fire crews.

A man, in his 50s, who was outside at the time, was taken to hospital for treatment.

His injuries are not thought to be life-changing or life-threatening.

Officers and firefighters remain at the scene to identify the cause of the fire.

Anyone who was in the area at the time and has information that could help with our enquiries is asked to get in touch.

Call us on 101, quoting incident number 034 of 7 June, or message us using Live Chat on our website.
