A house fire in Tiverton leaves one man injured, four adults and several children without a home Saturday night.

Chief Lloyd tells ABC 6 they received the call at 9:30 p.m. about a fire on 19 Garden Avenue on May 30th.

An off duty Fire Captain who lives a few houses down smelled smoke and also called the fire in.

Upon arrival Fire crews discovered heavy smoke and fire pushing out of the doors. They say the fire began in the kitchen and spread to the bedrooms and attic.

The male victim suffered a respiratory injury and was taken to the hospital for treatment. His condition is known at this time and the house is unlivable.

Fall River, Swansea, Middletown and Portsmouth Fire departments all assisted in putting the fire out.

The American Red Cross is assisting the family.
