House Fire at Minmi

BY LAUREN FREEMANTLE

A family have been left devastated after their Minmi home was destroyed by fire last night.

Around 7:30, four fire trucks responded to the blaze on Lenaghans Drive.

Crews arrived within 8 minutes of a triple-zero call, however, the single-level structure was well alight and took about half an hour to extinguish.

Around 90% of the home was destroyed.

Newcastle Fire Command say its lucky no one was home at the time.
