The incident occurred at a property on Minnegang Street.
Fire and Rescue NSW Illawarra duty commander Inspector Greg Purvis said they were called to the house fire just after 9.30am.
He said upon arrival, the roof of the house was fully engulfed in fire, with large volumes of smoke coming out.
The residents had heard "some crackling in the roof" and evacuated the house.
