A house in Gate Pa is on fire.
A fire service northern communications spokeswoman said a house on Humber Cres in Gate Pa was "well-involved".
She said the fire was in the roof space.
A man and woman who lived next door to the burning house pulled out a hose to try and put the fire out while waiting for emergency services to arrive.
The couple, neither of whom wanted to be named, were at home when the woman saw the fire.
