The blaze on the Fernleigh Road property was called in at 2.30 this morning and three trucks from Turvey Park Fire and Rescue attended, a spokesperson said. 

There was significant damage to structure and contents.

The fire comes just a week later after a blaze damaged a house right next door.

Two crews were needed to extinguish the flames with an AP 4732 pump retained tank and a retained tanker. 

Police are also investigating circumstance that saw a home in Ashmont overtaken by fire for the second time in less than a week. 

A working professional, who wished to remain anonymous, has decided to move out of Ashmont following the spate of crimes in the past weeks.

“Particularly the house fires are concerning,” he said.

“It feels like the more incidents there are, the more it feels like it could get closer and closer to my street.

“I am more conscious of what could happen when I leave the house.”

The 31-year-old said even though he has locks in place, it may not be enough.

“Despite the rise, I know there are decent people who are also just trying to get by every day without any trouble,” he said.
