Firefighters from Fareham, Havant and Hayling Island rescued a man from a kitchen fire at a property on The Keep in Portchester.
The electric hob had been accidentally switched on causing a plastic bowl on top to catch fire.
Crews were called at around 11am before the firefighters in breathing apparatus led the man, who was suffering with smoke inhalation, to safety.
The casualty was given Immediate Emergency Care by firefighters before he was handed to SCAS paramedics.
HIWFRS extinguished the fire with hose reel jets before clearing smoke from the property using ventilation fans.
Firefighters returned to station after completing a home fire safety visit and delivering community safety materials to neighbouring properties.
