The man failed to realise his partner had already escaped the house after discovering smoke and died while looking for her.
Several fire and emergency crews were sent to the address late last night to find the home entirely consumed by the blaze.
Fire risk manager Terry Jordan says the fire started after the couple lit candles after their power was shut off by the power company.
