Firefighters were called to David Dyball and Debra Ryan's uninsured Springhurst home about about 8pm on Saturday.
The Jenvey Lane home was gutted and crews remained on scene until the early hours of Sunday morning.
Mr Dyball said he had been watching television when his dog began barking.
"All of the sudden I saw smoke," he said.
"By that time it was in the roof cavity and things were exploding.
"It took off really quickly."
