When Hamilton crews arrived, smoke was coming from the home’s front door. Hamilton crews quickly extinguished the fire, officials said.
Trevor Snider, Hamilton fire investigator, said the man was using gasoline to clean flooring when fumes from the water heater ignited the gas and flashed over.
The home’s owner was burned and drove himself to the hospital. No other occupants or firefighters were injured, and the damage to the house was limited.
Damage estimates are approximately $3,000.
The fire is currently under investigation, but is considered accidental.
