Two men caught in a heated argument have been rescued from a burning house.
The 46 and 35-year-olds were dragged from a property in Doonside, in western Sydney, before dawn on Thursday.
Authorities were responding to reports of an argument in what’s believed to be a domestic violence-related incident.
Arriving about 4.30am, NSW Police officers found a damaged vehicle out front and the house well alight.
They broke through a door and found two men in a tussle with one holding down the other.
After separating them, they pulled the men from the burning house.
The 46-year-old was arrested and taken to Westmead Hospital to be treated for burns to his back.
He remains under police guard.
The 35-year-old was taken to Blacktown Hospital to be treated for facial injuries.
Firefighters managed to douse the blaze as a crime scene was established.
