Officers from Riverstone Police Area Command were told two occupants were not at the home at the time; however, a 38-year-old woman is unaccounted for.
When a search of the home by firefighters failed to find the woman, officers from Riverstone Police Area Command initiated a search of the surrounding area, assisted by the PolAir, but she has not yet been found.
The woman is described as being of Caucasian appearance, 167cm tall, 85kg, large build, fair complexion, and black hair.
She was last seen at the home two or three days ago and it's unknown what she is wearing. Police have been told the woman may appear distressed or confused.
Police are appealing for anyone who may have any information about the woman's whereabouts to come forward.
Scene of Crime Officers and specialist fire investigators are expected to examine the scene later today.
