An elderly woman has suffered smoke inhalation during a kitchen fire at Tenambit on Thursday afteroon.
Fire and Rescue NSW says its crews were called to Valentia Parade at around 2pm.
When they arrived, the 80-year-old woman had been evacuated to safety with the help of neighbours.
Crews from East Maitland, Maitland, Tarro and Morpeth switched the power off to the home and used a fire extinguisher to douse the oven fire.
The home was then ventilated, while the woman’s daughter, a registered nurse, cared for her mother at the scene.
