Young child dies in home blaze, three others escape

"Officers attached to Chifley Police District arrived to find the home well alight," a NSW police spokesman said.

"A woman and two children were able to escape the property, however, a four-year-old child remained unaccounted for."

Fire and Rescue NSW firefighters later found the child's body inside the home after extinguishing the blaze.

The woman was taken to Cowra Hospital in a stable condition, suffering smoke inhalation.

A crime scene has been established, and inquiries into the circumstances surrounding the fire are ongoing.

A report will be prepared for the coroner.
