Emergency services were called to a house on Moorong Crescent, Malua Bay, just before 7.30am on Thursday, February 17, to reports of a fire on the premises.

"It was a smouldering fire confined to some wiring underneath the house," the spokesperson said.
"There was no structural damage to the house - the power was turned off, and the fire was contained."
The spokesperson said it was a good reminder that a "working smoke alarm saves people's lives".
A spokesperson from NSW Ambulance said the man was treated for smoke inhalation on site before being transported to Batemans Bay Hospital in a stable condition.
