"There are no reports of anyone inside or anyone missing," Nicholson said.

Four fire crews were at the scene.

"There were huge flames that you could see from the roadside,"

TJ said things had quietened down now but the road was still blocked.

A police spokesman said all of the home's occupants were safe.
