HASTINGS, Neb. (AP) — A home in Hastings has sustained significant fire damage after a man used a butane torch to light a cigarette.

The fire happened Saturday afternoon.

Hastings Fire and Rescue Chief Kent Gilbert says the home was engulfed in flames by the time firefighters arrived. The home was gutted by the blaze.

Gilbert said the man who started the fire escaped the house safely, but then was hurt trying to re-enter the home through a window. He says the injuries were likely caused by broken glass.
