A young family-of-five are praying for a Christmas miracle after their house, cars and all of their belongings were destroyed in a mammoth fire.
The inferno tore through the home in Ravenswood, a small town in Western Australia about 83km south of Perth, at 10pm on Sunday night.
The fire, believed to have been caused by lithium batteries, has left the family homeless with only the clothes on their backs just weeks out from Christmas.
Police are not treating the blaze as suspicious.
Aden Weston said his sister’s home, multiple cars and all of their belongings had been destroyed in the horror blaze.
‘Last night my sister’s family home in Ravenswood burned down due to lithium batteries,’ he wrote on a GoFundMe.
‘Leaving my sister, her partner and their three young children homeless just before Christmas. Lee suffered burns and smoke inhalation from the fire.
‘Unfortunately the entire house, all their belongings and their cars are completely gone. They currently only have the clothes they escaped in.’

Mr Weston pleaded with Aussies to deliver his sister and her young family a ‘Christmas miracle’ by donating to the GoFundMe.
‘All funds will go directly to Hayley and Lee to buy clothes, food, personal items and go towards all the bills and cleanup,’ he said.
WA Police said two officers who attended the fire sustained minor smoke inhalation.
‘A hydroponic setup was located within one of the rooms in the home,’ a police spokesperson told Daily Mail Australia.
‘This is not believed to be linked to the fire at this time.’
The police spokesperson added, ‘Police have completed their investigation and although a hydroponic set up was located at the home, there is no evidence of any criminality.’
