An 80-year-old man was treated for smoke inhalation after a small fire in an apartment yesterday morning.
Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service was called to the incident in Banbury Road at 9.25am and had put the fire out by 9.50am, a spokesman said.
The man was treated by paramedics and afterwards firefighters used a ventilation fan to clear the ground floor of smoke.
The cause of the fire has not been confirmed, but is thought to have involved a box of tissues.
