Fire and Rescue NSW Turvey Park and Wagga stations responded to reports of a fire in the roof extractor fan in a laundry building near guest accomodation at the rear of the Palm and Pawn Hotel at about 2pm.

Riverina Zone Commander Superintendent Stewart Alexander said two fire trucks and about 10 firefighters arrived within 10 minutes.

"People were evacuated but there were no reports of injuries," Superintendent Alexander said.

"The fire is under control now but I am not too sure about the level of damage in the laundry room. The firefighters were on the scene pretty quickly and brought it under control very quickly so hopefully it's OK.

"Firefighters remain on site due to concerns over solar panels on the roof. They are inspecting them and making sure they are safe."

Superintendent Alexander said the fire was a reminder to call Triple 0 immediately for fire emergencies and to always have a working smoke alarm.

Multiple officers from Riverina Police District also attended the scene.
