Fire ravaged a Bunbury property on Sunday evening causing $300,000 worth of damage to a Stone Street address.

Just after 9pm, three local fire and rescue crews were called the building in the light-industrial area.

Within 25 minutes the fire was contained to the northern-side of the structure but not controlled and by 10pm it was extinguished.
