Two people have died and a child is in serious condition in hospital after a house fire in southwestern Sydney.
Emergency services were called to a house on Rottnest Avenue in Hinchinbrook just after 5:40 a.m. Sunday morning after reports of a fire.
Six people were evacuated from the house, three were able to flee on their own, while three had to be rescued by firefighters, including the child.
The group was treated by paramedics, but two tragically died at the scene.

The child was rushed to Westmead Children’s Hospital and is in serious condition.
The two deceased have not yet been officially identified.
A crime scene has been established and the forensic police will come later on Sunday.
A report on the two deaths will be prepared for the coroner.
