A home has been significantly damaged in a fire at Ettalong Beach on Wednesday morning, October 3.
Fire and Rescue NSW (FRNSW) received numerous Triple Zero (000) calls at about 10am reporting smoke billowing from the rear of a two-storey house in Burrawang St.
Crews observed large volumes of smoke en-route to the incident and when they arrived they found the home well alight.
More than 20 firefighters quickly got to work to contain the blaze and protect neighbouring properties.
The fire was extinguished in approximately one hour.
A working smoke alarm alerted a resident inside the property to the fire and she self-evacuated and was uninjured in the incident.
FRNSW reminds the community that a residential fire can take hold in as little as three minutes and it is vital to have a working smoke alarm to give occupants early warning and evacuate safely.
