Fire crews from Belmont and Tingira Heights were called to a home in Albert Street just after 7.30 last night, arriving to find a 9 kilogram gas bottle attached to a barbeque leaking and on fire.
They doused the flames and isolated the gas bottle, using a thermal imaging camera to determine it was safe.
Ambulance paramedics were called to treat the man after he was overcome by smoke and gas fumes.
