Police have confirmed they’re investigating a ferocious house fire in Highland Park this morning.
Emergency crews rushed to the property on Alexander Drive around 10am after receiving reports of smoke coming from a window.
Seven fire crews were needed to douse the flames, which completely engulfed the property.
Thankfully all residents were accounted for and police successfully managed to evacuate neighbouring properties.
One person was assessed at the scene by paramedics for a minor hand injury and smoke inhalation, but declined a trip to hospital.
Police have confirmed both eastbound lanes of Alexander Drive remain closed between Lytham Circuit and McLeod Street and will be closed for the foreseeable future.
Investigations to determine the cause of the blaze continue.
