Quick work by fire crews has stopped a shed fire spreading to a house at Sandgate this morning.
Newcastle Fire Command says they received several triple-oh calls just before 6.30am arriving to find a shed on a property in Wallsend Road well alight.
The shed and a car inside the shed were destroyed, but a house on the property was untouched.
Crews from Mayfield West and Lambton took about 30 minutes to extinguish the fire.
No-one was home at the time and police are trying to locate the owner of the car.
