Two people have narrowly escaped with their lives after a home in Sydney's northwest went up in flames, with pictures capturing the extent of the horrific photos.

The fires were still smouldering into the early hours of the morning.

Firefighters arrived to find the building well-consumed by fire, with 9 News reporting it took just over an hour to contain the fire.
By the time it was under control, the property was completely destroyed.
Two residents managed to get themselves out safely and were checked over by paramedics.
Fire and Rescue NSW are probing the cause of the blaze, including whether it was caused by a log fire. Picture: Facebook
It is understood the property had been rented out in the last month, with the current residents effectively rendered homeless.
Fire and Rescue NSW will be on the scene for most of Sunday to determine the cause of the blaze, with a potential lead being a log fire burning inside the property at the time.
Firefighters have urged residents to have a 'working fire alarm' with the onset of winter and a spike in house fires.

Blackmail scam aimed at teens leads to arrests by Australian police, FBI
Almost two dozen alleged online sextortion perpetrators have been arrested amid an international probe into the blackmail of teenagers in Australia, the United States and Canada. The US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) partnered with the Australian Federal Police (AFP) and other global agencies to arrest 22 sextortion suspects in Nigeria. Two of the alleged offenders were linked to the suicide of a 16-year-old boy in NSW in 2023, police said. Police believe the boy committed suicide after engaging with the scammers online, who threatened to share personal photos with his family and friends if he did not pay $500. "The network's scheme, which coerced victims into sharing sexually explicit images before threatening to distribute those images unless payment was made, had devastating consequences," police said. More than 20 teen suicides in the US have been linked to sextortion scams since 2021. The joint operation, Operation Artemis, included two AFP investigators deployed in Nigeria to trace online activity, link digital evidence to suspects, and help in the identification of perpetrators and victims. Investigators from the AFP-led Australian Centre to Counter Child Exploitation (ACCCE) also offered expert analysis on data seized by foreign law enforcement, police said. In Australia, the ACCCE received a total of 58,503 reports of online child exploitation, including 1554 sextortion-related reports in the 2023 to 2024 financial year. AFP acting commander Ben Moses said the global operation sent a clear message to scammers targeting children online. "Law enforcement is united and determined to find you - no matter where you hide," he said. "These crimes are calculated and devastating, often pushing vulnerable young people into extreme distress. "Thanks to the coordinated action of our partners, we achieved meaningful results including an immediate and significant reduction in sextortion reports across Australia." Help is available: The AFP-led ThinkUKnow program has developed the online blackmail and sexual extortion response kit aimed at young people, aged 13 to 17, and is available from the ThinkUKnow and ACCCE websites. The ACCCE has also created a dedicated sextortion help page with resources and information on how to report sextortion. Members of the public who have information about people involved in online child sexual exploitation are urged to contact the ACCCE. If you know abuse is happening right now, or a child is at risk, call police immediately on 000. If you, or someone you know, is impacted by child sexual abuse and online exploitation, support services are available.

'Trusted insiders' behind drugs and tobacco haul
A man who allegedly boasted he could circumvent Australian borders has sparked the arrest of seven men over large-scale drug imports and more than 20 million untaxed cigarettes. The seizure comes as attention focuses on the black market tobacco trade as questions are asked about the high federal excise, which has been blamed for increasing the flow of money away from government coffers to organised crime. The 42-year-old man was allegedly using a freight forwarding service at Punchbowl in Sydney's southwest to bring packages across the border. Authorities began looking into the man after learning in September 2023 that he allegedly claimed he could circumvent border checks. Investigators from several law enforcement agencies and the tax office continued to monitor the freight forwarding service, especially after the August 2024 arrest of two men over a 280kg haul of liquid methamphetamine imported inside a freezer shipped from Canada. More illicit goods continued to arrive, including shipments totalling 20 million cigarettes from the United Arab Emirates. After learning in May the man allegedly planned to import 50kg of cocaine from Panama, hidden inside bags of cement, police moved in. Four men, including the 42-year-old, were arrested as properties were raided around Sydney's west and southwest on Friday. Another was arrested at Sydney Airport on Saturday. Among the men are two Canadians who allegedly flew in to oversee the import and extraction of the cocaine, destined for organised crime groups. The 42-year-old man behind the freight forwarding service has been charged with multiple counts of importing large quantities of tobacco and commercial quantities of border-controlled drugs, as well as proceeds of crime and criminal group charges. He was refused bail on Sunday and is due to return to court at the end of July. NSW Police seized 243 boxes of tobacco at storage facilities in Moorebank during the raids. The seizure comes as Premier Chris Minns this week questioned the "massive" federal excise on tobacco and the rise in the number of high-street shops selling illicit tobacco and nicotine vapes. In Victoria, illegal tobacco sales have prompted regular violence, with more than 100 firebombings in two years. Queensland police found a fake wall full of cash and a secret tobacco store on Thursday during a major crackdown on more than 20 illegal traders. The federal tobacco excise topped $1.40 per cigarette in March, excluding shop markups, with the average pack of 20 now costing up to $55 or more, depending on the brand. The 2025/26 federal budget wiped $6.9 billion off the government's tobacco excise projections out to 2029, with about one in five smokers shifting to illicit cigarettes or vapes.

Child support 'weaponised' against parents: report
Parents experiencing financial abuse feel abandoned and let down through the child support program, as Labor is urged to change laws to make it easier to enforce rules on perpetrators. A report released by the Commonwealth Ombudsman on Tuesday found not enough is being done to identify and stop financial abuse through child support. Services Australia's actions were found to be unfair or unreasonable in responding to "widespread manipulation and weaponisation" of financial payments. The agency lacked policies, strategies and training to be able to proactively identify, monitor and respond to cases of abuse, the report found. The ombudsman recommended the federal government introduce legislation to address limitations that impede Services Australia enforcement. Information sharing and a requirement of abuse survivors to disclose sensitive details with their former partner should also restrained. In Australia, there are about 1.1 million kids supported by the child support program. Women are the main recipients of child support, which is usually paid for by men. In a survey of more than 500 separated mothers, four in five said their former partner had used the program to commit financial abuse. "We are being told of cases where former partners are ... deliberately not making payments or not lodging tax returns, lying to reduce their income, lying about care arrangements and being abusive or violent to stop the impacted parent from asking for help," the report reads. Services Australia distributed $1.967 billion in payments in the 2023/24 financial year. The investigation found as of December 2024 there was $1.9 billion in Child Support Collect debt and 153,694 paying parents had a debt. Commonwealth Ombudsman Iain Anderson said affected parents "keep telling us they feel abandoned and let down by Services Australia when they seek help for financial abuse in their child support cases". Services Australia accepted all of the eight recommendations, while the social services department accepted all but one.
