Officers from Lake Illawarra Police District have established a crime scene and commenced an investigation into the suspicious blaze, a police spokesman said.

FRNSW Superintendent Daron Lesslie said it took six units and help from the Rural Fire Service to extinguish.

On arrival, fire crews found the roof well alight, which then spread to other parts of the house - eventually causing the front part of the home to collapse.

There were no reported injuries.

Anyone with information or video footage of the incident are urged to contact Oak Flats Police Station or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
