A man has died and another is in hospital with severe burns after being trapped in two separate unit fires in Sydney overnight.
At roughly 5am, a Fire and Rescue NSW crew pulled an unconscious man out of a smoke-filled unit in south-west Sydney on Biara Avenue, Clemton Park.
The unit sustained significant damage and officers from Campsie Police Area Command have established a crime scene. An investigation is underway into the cause of the fire. Four people managed to escape the blaze, but a 55-year-old man suffered significant burns and was taken to Royal North Shore Hospital where he remains in a serious condition.
