ORIGINAL STORY

Lismore App reader Dylan has told the Lismore App of a house fire on Ballina Road in the Lismore CBD.

Live Traffic shows the fire at the Brewster Street crossroad, saying it started at 12:57pm.

The westbound lane is closed to traffic, so you will need to take an alternative route to get to South Lismore.

Emergency Services and Transport for NSW are in attendance.

More to come.
