Home Destroyed By Fire At Luskintyre

BY IAN CROUCH

An investigation is under way into the cause of a fire which guttered a home at Luskintyre near Maitland last night.

NSW and Rural Fire Service crews arrived at the brick home on Luskinytyre Road just after 7.00pm on Thursday to find the property well alight.

The roof of the home collapsed at the height of the blaze with crews taking about 3 hours to extinguish the flames.

They were hampered by water supply issues, relying on tankers from the RFS to battle the intense fire.

No-one was injured - police are treating the fire as suspicious.
