Two fire engines, several fire vehicles and ambulance crew are also in attendance.

The fire is believed to be in the roof or attic of the semi-detached house, and thick smoke can be seen billowing from the scene.

Western Telegraph:

One witness told the Western Telegraph: "I saw flames shooting out through the roof, it looks like it started in a top bedroom."

"There is smoke billowing out of the window, and it's black and acrid.

"It looked like the fire brigade had it under control, but then more flames came out.

"The roof has a big hole in it, and the flames are licking through it."
