A wood heater is believed to have started a fire that destroyed a Curlewis property on Tuesday morning.
CFA was called to the incident at 6.43am on Pax Parade and took almost three hours to bring under control.
District 7 Commander Sam Maiolo said the occupants escaped the home unharmed, thanks to a working smoke alarm.
“The property also had a pool which was utilised to pump water from to assist with the fire attack,” Sam said.
“The occupants escaped safely thanks to their smoke alarm alerting them to the fire.
“This is a timely reminder to ensure everyone has working smoke alarms in their home.”
The fire was brought under control just after 9.30am and the scene was declared safe at 10.35am.
The wood heater is believed to be the cause as a result of the fire investigation.
