Police have confirmed a house fire at Warners Bay overnight may have been deliberately lit as fire investigators examine the cause.
Emergency services were called to Margaret Street just after 11pm to reports of flames coming from the two-storey residence. It took multiple crews to bring the blaze under control but the home suffered extensive damage.
There were initial reports of a smell of fuel and the dog squad was brought in.
All occupants were evacuated, a crime scene has now been established.
