Two people have been injured at a hotel on Hillsborough Road in Warners Bay on Thursday morning, after a gas bottle explosion.
A man turned on the portable gas bottle to start up a deep fryer, around 11:30am, when it exploded.
The 40-year-old suffered serious burns to 40 percent of his arms.
A second person also received burns to their hands.
Fire and Rescue crews quickly rendered the property safe.
They've been taken to the John Hunter Hospital, while paramedics assessed TWO other people.
