Part of the three storey, end terrace property's roof is alight, according to a London Fire Brigade spokeswoman.
Crews from Croydon, Norbury and Woodside fire stations are at the scene with an aerial ladder platform.
The cause of the fire is not known at this stage.
A neighbour said: "I don't know what happened but I saw the fire engines. There were a lot of firemen too.
"You can see for yourself, the house is mess. I got told there was lots of smoke and the fire was coming out the roof. I hope everyone is ok."
Andrew Bernhard, who lives nearby, said: "I really just heard the loud radio from the fire truck, which prompted me to look. Then saw several firemen with torches inside the roof."
