April 29, 7pm:

A blaze has broken out at Charles Sturt University's South Campus on Urana Street tonight, sending an entire building up in flames.

Fire and Police departments attended the scene just after 6:30pm and have vehicles blocking off the site which they stated is now an official crime scene.

Plumes of smoke are being sent into the sky that are visible from many streets away, and crowds of onlookers are lining the streets to catch a glimpse of the damage.

There have been no reports at this stage on what caused the fire, and emergency crews remain on site to fight the blaze.

More to come.
