The owner of a home at Muswelbrook has escaped serious injury after fire engulfed the residence last night.
Newcastle Fire Command says crews from Muswellbrook, Aberdeen, Denman and Singleton were called to the two story home on Brook Street at about 7.30pm.
They were supported by local RFS crews, taking more than three and a half hours to bring the blaze under control.
The owner managed to self evacuate and was assessed by paramedics for smoke inhalation before being transported to hospital for observation.
The cause of the fire is not yet known.
