BY IAN CROUCH

Two people have treated for burns after fire engulfed their home at Muswellbrook this morning.

Newcastle Fire Command says they received 6 triple-oh calls to a brick and tile home on Osborne Street just before 4 o'clock, arriving to find the house engulfed in flames.

A 47-year-old man suffered burns to his feet and smoke inhalation while a 22-year-old woman has been taken to Muswellbrook Hospital with burns to her hands and feet.

The home was destroyed in the blaze and fire crews are still at the scene mopping up hot spots.

The cause of the fire is not known and police have set up a crime scene.
