One occupant was safely evacuated after a garage caught alight at a property in Wright Court, Mill Park, on Tuesday morning.
Firefighters arrived at the scene at 8:23am to find a large garage on fire which quickly spread to the house.
A community warning was issued to avoid Childs Road and Marshall Drive in Mill Park due to an abundance of smoke and the large number of fire trucks requiring access.
The cause of the fire has not been established.
