Family left reeling after fire engulfs Woodberry home

Firefighters were called to the blaze on Sophia Jane Avenue shortly after midnight, but they were unable to save the home.

Several units were called in to protect surrounding properties as the fire raged out of control.

Exploding gas cylinders made the situation difficult, firefighters said.

However, there were no injuries and surrounding homes were able to escape with only minor damage.

Among the items lost in the fire included a car which was parked in the driveway.

Firefighters were still investigating the cause of the blaze on Sunday.
