A family have been taken to hospital suffering smoke inhalation after a fire broke out in their Doonside home early this morning, NSW Police say.

Emergency services were called to the home on Doonside Road just before 3am (Monday 16 July 2018) after the alarm was raised when smoke and fire could be seen at rear of the house.

Officers from Blacktown Police Area Command responded and found the family of four already outside.

A man, woman and two children were treated by NSW Ambulance paramedics for smoke inhalation and were taken to Mount Druitt Hospital for further observation.

Fire & Rescue NSW extinguished the fire and a crime scene has been established while further investigations take place.

At this stage there are no suspicious circumstances.
