Crews were called out to the property in Pritchard Street just before 4am. The fire, at the rear of the house, involved a quantity of rubbish in the rear yard which they quickly put out using a hosereel.

As the flame set alight to the back door crews had to ensure the house was empty.

The cause of the fire is now under a joint investigation by fire and police authorities.
