Fire crews were called to the blaze on Taylors Creek Road, some 9km southwest of Tarago, shortly before 8am and found the structure “fully involved,” a Lake George RFS spokesman said.

The occupants were inside at the time the blaze broke out but were uninjured.

Five heavy tankers and several support units, comprising 26 personnel, doused the flames.

The spokesman said some crews were still onsite mopping up. He told The Post the home was totally destroyed.

Authorities are investigating the cause but it is not being treated as suspicious.

“We’re very glad the people are safe and it’s a good reminder to have a fire plan in place, especially during winter,” the spokesman said.

While not speaking specifically about this incident, he said it was important to clean chimneys and ensure electrical appliances were in good working order.
