The raging inferno sparked alongside Lifford Approach about 5pm, with residents saying they had been alerted to the blaze after listening to “loud explosions” and seeing thick, black smoke billowing from the two-storey dwelling.
A number of fireplace crews and police arrived to the scene inside minutes after receiving a number of frantic triple-zero calls, however sadly they couldn’t save the property from the blaze, which took greater than two hours to extinguish.
Two younger girls, each believed to be of their 20s, who lived inside the house managed to flee the inferno with solely minor accidents.
A St John WA spokeswoman stated one of many girls was handled on the scene however she was not taken to hospital.
