Dozens of firefighters are currently battling a ferocious blaze which seems to have engulfed a house at West Wollongong on Wednesday afternoon.
Triple 0 calls alerted authorities to the fire around 3.15pm, with the callers describing seeing large volumes of smoke over the suburb.
As at 3.41pm, seven crews were in attendance with 28 firefighters. A FRNSW media spokesman said they had been unable to enter the single storey Highway Avenue home as it was fully engulfed by a fire "far too developed".
