Police Investigate Fatal House Fire At Aberglasslyn

BY IAN CROUCH

A man has died and two other people have been injured in a house fire at Aberglasslyn.

Emergency services were called to a single level brick and tile home in Peppertree Circuit just after 8.30 last night.

Firefighters initially had trouble accessing the home due to intense heat.

Police say the body of a man was found inside - he is yet to be formally identified.

A woman and a teenage boy were taken to the John Hunter Hospital with minor injuries.

Police have set up a crime scene as investigations continue and a report will be prepared for the Coroner.
