Smoke alarms are being credited for saving the lives of a mother and daughter after their Windale home went up in flames early Friday.
Firefighters from five stations were called to South Street at 1.15am to find a single storey brick veneer and tile home engulfed in flames.
Police say neighbours helped the two occupants, both of whom are disabled, to safety.
It's taken crews around an hour to extinguish the flames, which left the house in ruins.
Police say the cause is not known at this stage, but the fire is not being treated as suspicious.
