A Braybrook house was destroyed by fire late yesterday afternoon.
Firefighters arrived at the single-storey weatherboard house on Middleton Court about 4.30pm on Monday, November 25, after multiple callers to triple-0 reported that the property was on fire.
The abandoned house, believed to occasionally be occupied by a squatter, was fully ablaze by the time fire crews arrived and a community advice was issued due to the large amount of smoke being emitted across the surrounding area.
A search of the property by firefighters wearing breathing apparatus confirmed it was vacant and the fire was brought under control about 4.52pm.
The house was completely destroyed by the blaze which took firefighters several more hours to extinguish.
The cause of the fire is yet to be determined but will be investigated.
