Crews were called to the one-and-a-half storey house just after 3 a.m., and were told someone was trapped inside. While some firefighters went inside to search for the occupant, others worked on extinguishing the flames.

The fire was declared under control within half an hour, and officials say the other residents of the house were able to get out safely before firefighters arrived.

The cause of the blaze remains under investigation.
