Detectives and firefighters were on the scene of a unit fire in Withers this morning.

The unit at Minninup Road was gutted by flames about 6.30am.

Neighbour Krystel Johnson said her partner woke her up saying "get up ... house is on fire".

"It was up in flames," Ms Johnson said.

"It was pretty much engulfed and now I can smell smoke in by bedroom."

It is believed the woman who lives in the unit was taken to hospital.

Police are waiting on Arson Squad detectives to further investigate the cause of the fire.
