Fire and Rescue NSW (FRNSW) investigators are examining the scene of a large overnight fire that has destroyed a masonic centre at Ambarvale in Sydney's south-west.

The blaze engulfed the Wickfield Circuit hall around 12.44am, causing its roof to collapse.

Nine fire trucks, including an aerial appliance, battled the fire from all sides of the 40 x 30m single-level building but it could not be saved.

The FRNSW Fire Investigation and Research Unit (FIRU) has been called in to determine how and where the fire started.
