Police remain on scene following a house fire which reportedly damaged the whole of a home in Conder on Friday morning.

The fire started just before 7.45am in Greaves Place, with emergency services reporting that a column of smoke could be seen nearby.

The street has since reopened, but the home is fenced off as a safety precaution.

Emergency services reported both occupants of the home self-evacuated when the fire took hold, and they were assessed on scene.

It is understood a man was injured as a result of smoke inhalation, but he wasn't transported to hospital.

ACT Fire and Rescue crews extinguished the flames, and have since completed the ventilation process.

ACT Policing report they remain at the house just after lunchtime, while investigations into the cause of the fire get underway.

ACT Fire and Rescue crews have left the scene.

It is currently unknown what started the fire.

Emergency services are urging the community to be mindful of police in the area.
