"The fire was particularly difficult for the crews to reach with crews entering the roof space via a man hole inside and also removing roof sheets to be able to extinguish the fire.
"The crew did a great job to have been able to completely extinguish the fire."
This was the second house fire that firefighters were called to in Parkes on Wednesday following an early morning unit fire on Orange Street.
