One house has been destroyed and two others have been damaged by fire at Kilaben Bay.

Firefighters were called to a double storey home in Ridge Road at about 6.00pm on Tuesday, arriving to find the house engulfed in flames.

The intense fire spread to the adjoining homes either side of the property, prompting a major response from emergency services

12 fire trucks were sent to the incident, with the first home collapsing as the fire spread.

It's taken crews almost 5 hours to extinguish and mop up the fires.

No-one was injured.

One home was destroyed, a second sustained 50 percent fire damage and the 3rd suffered minor damage.

The cause of the initial fire is not known at this stage.
