Firefighters battle La Lucia house fire

Emergency services who responded to the home at the corner of William Campbell Drive and Impala Crescent say a man has sustained serious burn wounds. 

Netcare911's Chris Botha says the house was fully engulfed by flames. 

"The paramedics found that there was a male occupant of the house that had sustained about 40% burns and was in a serious condition. They are busy stabilising the man at the scene and will be transporting him to a nearby hospital for further treatment," he said. 

It's not yet clear what caused the fire.
