Around 60 firefighters are tackling a blaze at a thatched property near Exeter.
Crews from all over Devon are at the scene.
At around 8.30am crews were sent to a house at Little Johns Cross, Ide.
A spokesman for the service said: "Three fire engines along with an aerial ladder platform from Exeter were sent to a report of curtains on fire within a property with a thatched roof.
"Upon arrival the crew confirmed that the thatched roof was involved in fire and requested the attendance of seven more fire engines.
"These appliances were sent from Topsham, Crediton, Newton Abbot, Cullompton, Exmouth and Torquay. Special support appliances were also sent from Honiton and Exeter.
"Western power also attended in order to isolate the electrics to the property and to ensure that overhead power cables were safe.
"The crews are currently at work fighting the fire in this two storey thatched property using eight breathing apparatus wearers, a compressed air foam jet, a main jet and three hose reel jets.
"A Building Surveyor from the local council is also on scene overseeing the structural safety side of things."
There are currently 12 fire engines, a water carrier, an aerial ladder platform, a command support unit and a telehandler in attendance.
