He said he believed long grass added fuel to the blaze causing it to spread. He said no-one was injured. Investigation continue as to how the fire began.

More than 15 homes have been burnt down in Boggabilla over the past five years according to Mr Roberts. Including one of his. “I don’t how this one started but most have been deliberately lit,” he said.
