Eight children are among 10 people who have escaped unharmed after an arson attack in Antrim.
It happened just after Midnight this morning.
Police say an accellerant was poured onto the front of the house on Islay Street and set alight.
The youngsters aged between 1 and 13 were inside at the time along with two adults.
The PSNI says it's "fortunate" none of them were injured and the front door was completely destroyed.
There has also been some smoke damage inside the home.
It's being treated as arson with intent to endanger life.
A spokesperson for the PSNI said: "Anyone who has information that could help the police investigation is asked to get in touch on the non-emergency number 101, quoting reference number 05 of 26/7/18.
"Alternatively, information can also be provided to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 which is 100% anonymous and gives people the power to speak up and stop crime."
