AN 80-year-old man was treated for smoke inhalation this morning after a small fire in an apartment in Kidlington.
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.
Elsewhere in Oxfordshire, a small fire took place near Chipping Norton at 7.35am.
It was in a second-floor flat attached to a three-storey house, but firefighters put the blaze out by 8.39am.
No one was hurt.
An electrical fault at a firm in central Oxford also led firefighters to evacuate a building this morning.
The fire service said it had been called at 9.37am to Wenn Townsend, opposite St Giles' Church graveyard in St Giles.
Firefighters made the area safe and handed it over to electricians by 10.23am.
