A volunteer firefighter was treated for burns after a blaze ripped through a Stratford home early in the morning last Friday.
St John Ambulance said the man was taken to Taranaki Base Hospital with burns.
Taranaki area commander Pat Fitzell said the firefighter had been transferred to Waikato Hospital for treatment in the specialist burns unit there.
Fitzell said the firefighter suffered burns to his shoulders, arms and hands when inside the Seyton St home, which was fully alight at the time.
"He was wearing full firefighting gear and breathing apparatus at the time, and we don't yet know what happened to cause the injuries.
