A five-year-old boy is fighting for life in a Sydney hospital following a significant house fire at Singleton Heights this morning.
Fire crews rushed to the home on Bridgeman Road around 8am this morning, where a mother and her four children, aged between three and 16, luckily escaped with only minor injuries.
However, a five-year-old boy sustained serious burns to his body - he's been airlifted to Westmead Hospital in a critical condition, while the family's home has been totally destroyed.
Hunter Valley police have established a crime scene, and the cause of the blaze is yet unknown.
Anyone with information is urged to come forward.
