ABC It is not clear what caused the fire at the Port Arthur general store and attached house.A shop and home at Port Arthur has been destroyed by fire.
The blaze broke out about 7:30am (AEST), and quickly engulfed the building.
A woman who owns the store apparently woke to a loud bang.
Richard Sargent co-owns a nearby cafe and says the woman fled the house attached to the store with her dog just before the building caught alight.
"There was smoke starting to billow into the general store from the back and the roof appeared to be on fire," he said.
Mr Sargent says the woman was very upset.
"Very shocked, shaken up, she was trembling almost uncontrollably," he said.
"We sat her down, got the ambulance as soon as it arrived so they could check her pressure all that sort of thing, oh it's just horrible."
It is not clear what caused the fire, which also destroyed the town's post office outlet.
