Fire crews have been battling a building fire in flood-ravaged Westport overnight.
Emergency services were called to the Bazil's hostel and surf school, on Russell St, after reports of a blaze about 2.30am.
The building was occupied at the time. However, everyone inside appears to have made it out safely without injury, authorities said.
Video footage shows bright orange flames engulfing the building, which can just be seen in the darkness.
