It was a getaway called the “Swallows” Homestead.
But in the space of just 40 minutes, it was barely recognisable…after fire ripped through the century-old house at Millfield.
About 9 o’clock, neighbours called triple-0 to report the property on Lewis Road was burning to the ground.
Three fire and rescue units and four from the rural fire service raced to the scene, but their efforts to save the structure were unsuccessful.
