Tamworth Fire and Rescue crews were called to the blaze in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Upon arrival, firefighters found the rear of an abandoned house that had been boarded up was well alight.
The blaze was quickly brought under control, crews then searched the house and gave it the all clear.
Once the fire was extinguished, the property was handed over to Oxley Police District officers.
A Total Fire Ban was in place on Sunday due to high fire conditions for the region.
Temperatures soared into the 40 degrees, and wind conditions that picked up in the afternoon made fighting fires tougher.
