A Country Fire Authority media spokesman said emergency services were called to a house in the area at 3.09am.

He said crews were on scene at 3.11am.

“Ambulance officers were required to treat a 15-year-old male with smoke inhalation,” he said.

“Crews were concerned the fire was going to spread to a shed.”

The spokesman said crews called in a number of tankers due to a shortage of water, before bringing the fire under control.
