Neighbours at the scene said, “we were calling out across the fence ‘your house is on fire’ because they didn’t notice”.

Paramedics were also called to the scene, but nobody was hurt.

Firefighters, lucky to have a large water tank to access on the neighbouring property, were able to quickly put the flames out.
