FRNSW Station Officer John Poulos was among those to attend and said the house was well involved in fire by the time the first crews arrived on scene.

"By the time we got there, we're 30 minutes away, it was pretty much extinguished and they [other firefighters] were just putting out hot spots," he said.

"It looks like it was a Department of Housing property, it was single level and it had been unoccupied for a couple of weeks.

"The cause of the fire is now being investigated."

The electricity supplier was also called to the incident to turn power to the property off as the fire had burnt through power lines which had then fallen to the ground and were still live.
