On arrival officers determined an eight-year-old boy was unaccounted for.
Bodycam footage released by WA Police shows officers charging into the property after they saw the child unconscious on the floor through a window.
The young boy was carried out of the burning building by the officers before the Department of Fire and Emergency arrived to extinguish the blaze.
An 18-year-old man has since been charged with criminal damage by fire and act causing bodily harm or danger.
The child was hospitalised for smoke inhalation but his condition has since improved.
