A home has been completely destroyed by fire at Windale.
Fire crews were called to the South Street split-level residence about 1.15am Friday.
A Fire and Rescue NSW spokesperson said all residents were accounted for, as seven crews battled the blaze for roughly an hour.
They were unable to save the home, which has been cordoned off due to risk of collapse.
Police said they were not treating the fire as suspicious.
