Raging fire takes hold of home in suburb south of Perth as fire crews rush to the scene

Fire crews are fighting a raging blaze at a house in a suburb south of Perth.

The blaze was reported at 6.23am Wednesday morning on Gillet Drive in Kardinya, near the intersection of South Street and North Lake Road.

A nearby resident spotted the fire early Wednesday, calling 6PR to report he could just see it from his home.

Seven DFES crews from Murdoch and Fremantle fire station attended the blaze in the two-storey home, where the fire had consumed more than half of the building.

Rescuers battled the blaze which was extinguished by 7.10am.

All occupants were out of the house, with the cause of the fire currently under investigation.

More to come.
