Fire fighters were alerted around 09:47hrs that a house at 389 Corlita Street was on fire and rushed to the scene to contain the blaze.
Neighbours had told reporters at the scene that they saw smoke emanating from the building and raised an alarm. When fire fighters arrived they were able to confirm that no one was home at the time. They were able to contain and put out the blaze.
The siblings arrived later and were shocked. The police rank told reporters, that they were not able to save anything from the house.
