A home has been destroyed and a dog is unaccounted for after a devastating house fire at Dudley.
Seven fire trucks and a Hazmat unit were called to the three level brick and tile home in The Anchorage just after midnight on Thursday to find the rear of the home well alight.
The flames quickly spread, with the entire home involved in fire.
It's taken crews more than 4 hours to extinguish the fire.
It's understood the sole male occupant managed to escape unharmed, however an 18 month old dog remains unaccounted for.
Police have set up a crime scene as investigations into the cause of the fire continue.
