Two men have been accused of lighting fire to a family home that injured a woman and three children just weeks before Christmas.

A fire tore through a house on Westfield St in Maddington, in Perth’s southeast, about 4.30am on December 10 last year.

Firefighters extinguished the blaze, which destroyed the property, later finding the suspicious fire likely started in the carport area.

CCTV footage revealed a person was near the home about the time of the fire.
