Police this morning confirmed a man has sustained serious injuries following a fire in Dunedin last night.
Emergency services, including four fire trucks, were called to a well-ablaze flat on Currie Street in Port Chalmers, at 7.19pm, a Fire and Emergency New Zealand spokesperson told 1 NEWS.
The man, who was inside the flat at the time of the fire, was later treated by St John paramedics.
Two other people have since been treated for smoke inhalation.
It is unclear if they were inside the flat at the time of the incident.
