Tollesbury: Man suffers burns in house fire
3:48pm Friday 27th January 2012 in Local News
A MAN has been rushed to hospital after suffering burns in a house fire.
The 33-year-old was at his home in Elysian Gardens, Tollesbury when a fire broke out in his bedroom.
Crews from Tollesbury and Tiptree were called at about 1.47pm today but the flames were already out.
The man was conscious and breathing, but had suffered burns to his face. He was taken by ambulance to Colchester General Hospital.

There are Fire Crews stationed in Tollesbury about 1/2 mile away from Eleysian Gardens, Tiptree about 6 miles away and Maldon about 7 miles away and several others nearer than either Tillingham or Burnham.
The report is almost certainly wrong, I hope the bloke recovers.

It is amazing that someone writing for Essex County Standard would have such a poor awareness of the catchment area, to just type Tillingham and Burnham without checking first.

Ah.. good the report has been promptly corrected.

This paper has come a long way from the days when it used to refer to the river Colne as flowing from Chelmsford to Colchester.
Three cheers for the Gazette.
