FIRE crews were called to a blaze in the roof of a Gwent home this afternoon.
Officers from Cwmbran, Caldicot and Chepstow fought the fire at a semi-detached house on Lower Argoed Farm, Shirenewton for more than two hours.
A South Wales Fire and Rescue spokeswoman confirmed nobody was in the building at the time of the fire, at 3pm.
The spokeswoman said the roof was severely damaged by the blaze, which is not being treated as suspicious.
