The crews isolated the gas and electric supply so they could use hose reels and jets to tackle the flames.

Crews from Petersfield, Liphook, Havant, Grayshott and Cosham all attended the scene and they were supported by specialist vehicles from Southsea, Portchester, Fareham and SHQ.

The fire service were able to reduce the number of crews attending and by 7:30pm, only a couple engines remained at the scene.

Fire investigation officers will attend the home to establish the cause of the blaze and crew members attended the site this morning to provide fire safety visits to nearby properties.
