Evacuation over top storey blaze

THE now blackened window sills overlooking quiet and leafy Fowler Road in Merrylands West, serve as a reminder of the calamity that lit up the cold blue morning last Wednesday.

Emergency services were called to the home about 5.15am and found the top floor well alight.
Firies battling the blaze also evacuated two nearby homes as a precaution.
While the fire severely damaged the home, no one was injured. The cause is still being investigated.
Anyone with information or dashcam footage is urged to call crime stoppers: 1800 333 000 or go to crimestoppers.com.au.
