An online appeal has been started to help a family who lost all their possessions in a house fire at Hodgeleigh on Thursday morning.
Emergency services were called to the blaze on Semgreens Road at 7:30am.
The building was fully engulfed in flames when they arrived, but there were no family members inside.
Both urban and rural firefighters tackled the fire.
By 8:30am, flames were under control.
Dampening down continued onsite until after 11:00am.
A GoFundMe page to assist the family had raised $550 by 1:00pm.
