A MAN living rough ended up with burns after his tent caught fire.
It is believed the fire started in the sleeping bag and spread to the tent, which was near a footpath in The Drive, Bridgemary Gosport causing damage to both.
When he realised what was happening the man got out of the tent and got help by knocking on a nearby house at around 9.30pm yesterday.
The extent of his injuries is not known at this time, but an ambulance was called and treated the man.
A crew from Gosport and a crew from Fareham attended but took no action as the fire was already out.
The blaze is thought to have started accidentally.
