A fire has destroyed a home in Karnup.

Firefighters were called to the property on Paganoni Road around 1am on Tuesday to find the house fully engulfed.

It took firefighters almost an hour to bring the blaze under control.

"Everyone was safely out of the house and Police and St Johns Ambulance also attended," a Department of Fire and Emergency Services spokesperson said.

Fire Investigation Officers are looking into the cause.

It is not believed to be suspicious.
