A father and son have suffered serious burns in a boat explosion at Lemon Tree Passage.
The 48-year-old man and his 11-year-old son were working on board a cabin cruiser at the local marina just before 5.30pm on Monday when petrol ignited causing the explosion.
Emergency services rushed to the scene with the boat fire quickly extinguished.
The 48-year-old was airlifted to the Royal North Shore Hospital suffering burns to his body, while the boy was flown to Westmead Children's Hospital by the Hunter's Westpac Rescue Helicopter in a serious but stable condition.
