A fierce blaze ripped through a Hamilton home, completely destroying the roof.

Emergency services raced to the scene in Livingstone Street, in the Burnbank area just after 5am on Sunday, August 28.

Neighbours were evacuated while six fire crews tackled the inferno before finally leaving the street just after 10am having got the flames under control and the area safe.

An ambulance crew was also called to the scene, but it is understood no one was injured as a result of the horror blaze.

Images show the roof of the property completely gone with guttering melted down the side of the building.
