Firefighters responded to reports of a house fire in Mirror Court, Taylors Lakes about 1 am on February 3, with the blaze believed to be caused by a lightning strike.
Firefighters who arrived first on scene commenced an internal attack on the fire which had already broken through the roof line.
Due to the partial collapse of the roof a short time later, all firefighting activities were external — the two occupants in the house had reportedly evacuated safely.
The fire was deemed under control about 1.50am, with the single storey brick veneer home severely damaged.
