Police and firefighters are investigating the cause of a blaze that badly damaged a house in Loughborough.
Firefighters were called to the two-storey home in Brisco Avenue at about 3am today after receiving reports of smoke seen coming from the house.
They described the building as "fully involved in fire."
Fire crews used four breathing apparatus, two hose reels, a covering jet and a pressurised fan to help them put out the blaze.
They had managed to extinguish the fire by about 4am.
Nobody was injured in the incident.
This morning police scenes of crime officers, Leicestershire fire investigators and the fire investigation dog, from Derbyshire Fire Service, were at the house to try to determine what had caused the blaze.
