Investigations are underway after drunk revellers at a house party allegedly obstructed fire fighters and poured petrol over an ambulance in Sydney’s south-west on Saturday night.
Emergency services were called to the party in Rossmore following reports that a 14-year-old boy had fallen into a bonfire.
A car is parked outside the property.
After being treated at the scene for burns to his face, the boy was taken to The Children’s Hospital at Westmead by NSW Ambulance Paramedics and remains in a stable condition.
NSW Police were called for assistance by firefighters attempting to extinguish the fire after several of the partygoers became aggressive, refusing to let them put out the fire.

"Both the paramedic and the ambulance vehicle which responded to this incident were able to return to duty," a NSW Ambulance spokesperson told Fairfax Media.
"As this matter is the subject of an ongoing police investigation we will not be providing further comment at this time."
