A fire which destroyed an abandoned house overnight at Aberdare is being treated as suspicious.
Firefighters from Cessnock and Kearsley were called to the single level fibro and iron roof home in Aberdare Road just after 8.00pm on Wednesday to find the house fully involved in fire.
It's taken them an hour to douse the flames.
Police have set up a crime scene.
Meanwhile a car has been destroyed and a timber home has been extensively damaged by fire at Killingworth.
Crews were called to The Broadway just after 1.30pm on Wednesday afternoon, taking an hour-and-a-half to extinguish the fire - no-one was injured.
