Officers from the Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) team donned protective gear and breathing apparatus before cutting out the front bedroom window of the home, which reportedly contains asbestos within its walls.

A NSW Ambulance spokeswoman said the Croydon Park man, who is aged in his mid-thirties and weighs approximately 300kg, called emergency services after experiencing chest pains.
He was transported to Burwood Hospital in a bariatric ambulance — a vehicle designed to accommodate obese patients — and is currently undergoing treatment.
"We have specialised ambulances and stretchers designed to handle patients of any weight, whether they are 500kg or 50kg," the spokeswoman said.
It is understood the man suffers from a range of health issues, including heart problems, relating to his weight.
Emergency crews were forced to close Balmoral Ave and President St, which run adjacent to the house, to protect neighbouring homes from the threat of asbestos.
