A fire that ripped through an old house in Childers Road last week apparently started accidentally in the roof area.
The large native timber house, located on a section alongside the playing fields of the former St Mary’s School site, caught fire around 8.40pm on Thursday night.
It was well-alight when fire crews arrived.
Squatters living in the house all got out safely.
Specialist fire investigators spent Friday looking over the blackened remains of the gutted building.
