The Arson Squad is investigating a fire that caused more than $50,000 to a house in the Perth suburb of Maddington.
Authorities say the fire started in the Rimmer Lane property about 9:30pm.
Fire crews managed to contain the blaze to the lounge room but say there is extensive smoke damage to the rest of the house.
It is believed the fire was deliberately lit.

Cockatoo planning decision made
as posted here
The City of Gosnells has continued its long-running work to assist the Black Cockatoo Preservation Society by giving retrospective planning approval for six outbuildings at a private residence in Martin.
At the same time it has imposed conditions to ensure noise levels from the private property meet legal requirements.
Acting Chief Executive Officer Adelle Cochran said Council had worked with the Society for months to assist it in getting a new operations centre up and running and it had been disappointing to see so much misinformation distributed by the Society about the City's position, especially on the internet.
"Inaccurate and misleading information has been distributed and accepted as fact and published online and in the media with no effort to check the real situation," she said.
"I want to state categorically that there has at no stage been any threat from Council to close the centre. To the contrary we have worked long and hard to assist the Society to carry out its work within the relevant legal framework.
"We have provided the Society a bigger, better, facility at a peppercorn rent at the former Cohunu Wildlife Park."
"On 14 July Council passed a resolution that grants conditional retrospective planning permission to six unlawful outbuildings at the private residence in Martin, while at the same time addressing the noise issues identified in a report by a Society appointed noise expert. This study found noise levels of between 46 and 53 decibels at the property boundary, which exceeded the Environmental Protection (Noise) Regulations 1997 legal level of 35."
"The City would now urge the Society to relocate its main operations as soon as possible to avoid further issues and to make sure planning conditions applying to the private residence in Martin are adhered to."

On to Stage 2
as posted here
Well we have received an acceptable offer for Unit 1 so we won't be opening it any longer except by appointment only and only if you are interested in stage 2. If you are keeping an eye on the blog to see what's happening, we are planning to put 2 single storey homes on lots 5 & 6 that will compliment what we have already done. We are looking at single storey because we can bring it to market quicker and cheaper, having a quicker build time and cheaper cost to build. But it will result in a smaller courtyard so if you are interested in a 2 storey townhouse then let us know quick as the opportunity is closing fast.
We'd also love to have a partner in the building, so if you are interested in a house & land package then get in touch. We could assist you with building your own home, choosing your own colours and materials and we will finish off the lot next door. If you are a first home buyer, be very quick as your time is running out to enjoy KRudds $21,000 offer.
We are very proud of what we have accomplished with lots 1-4 and we look forward to completing the last 2 homes at Eudoria Rise. Stay tuned for details.
