Crews were called to thatched cottage fire in The Street at Clapham and arrived to find smoke and flames already coming from the roof area near to the chimney.
Ladders were pitched to the roof as the firefighters worked to create a fire break in the thatch at the same time as further crews wearing breathing apparatus went inside to try and stop the fire spreading and salvage furniture and belongings on the first floor.
The fire was found to be burning deep within the thatch and crews then worked in rotation to try and remove it and protect the rest of the property.
Volunteers from the Red Cross Fire Emergency Support Service are also at the scene providing temporary welfare facilities. There were no reported injuries.
