A man who was taken to hospital after a suspected gas explosion is in a stable condition, police have confirmed.
The 33-year-old is being treated in Glasgow Royal Infirmary after being pulled from the burning property by firefighters.
Billows of smoke were seen pouring from a house in Larbert, Falkirk, early on Saturday afternoon.
