A Plant City man was injured late Sunday after a fire damaged part of a home on S Wiggins Road.

Hillsborough County Fire Rescue said crews arrived at 2303 S Wiggins Road about 11:30 p.m. to find a 50-year-old woman and her 72-year-old father, who was lying in the grass.

Crews found significant fire damage to the front left corner of the single-story home. They brought the fire under control quickly and climbed through the attic space to extinguish the last of the flames.

The man was taken to a nearby hospital, Fire Rescue officials said. His injuries were not thought to be life-threatening.
