A Charmhaven house has been totally destroyed despite the efforts of about 30 firefighters who battled the blaze which engulfed the two-storey property.

A spokesperson for NSW Fire & Rescue said their crews and Rural Fire Service firefighters were called to the house in Panorama Ave at about 11pm on Saturday, November 5.

“The house was well alight and starting to collapse,” she said.

A car and caravan were also destroyed in the fire.

The fire didn’t spread to neighbouring properties, however, people were evacuated until it was completely extinguished by fire crews.

Four people from the house escaped relatively unhurt although one was taken by ambulance to Wyong Hospital to be treated for smoke inhalation and other medical conditions.
