Fire at former Newcastle Post Office

BY JESSICA ROUSE

A rubbish fire has caused damage to the former Newcastle Post Office building overnight.

Fire crews were called to the building just before 10pm to find the fire on the 1st floor.

It was contained and under control within an hour but police are investigating with suggestions it could have been deliberately lit.

Thankfully the building didn't suffer any major structural damage.
