An electrical fault is being blamed for a fire which destroyed a house at Pokolbin overnight.
Firefighters were called to the home on Gillards Road at about 5.20 yesterday afternoon to find the property engulfed in flames.
The occupants of the home, a 68-year-old man and a 69-year-old woman, escaped unharmed.
It took several hours to fully extinguish the blaze which guttered the home and its contents.
Police say it appears the fire started in a circuit board in the laundry.
