Police are investigating the cause of a fire which destroyed a large shed and two caravans at Wallsend.

Eight fire trucks and 30 firefighters were called to Downie Lane at about 10.15pm on Wednesday to find the shed engulfed in flames.

Several LPG cylinders were also inside the shed.

Police say a couple were using one of the caravans as temporary accommodation were not inside at the time.

It took fire crews about half an hour to extinguish the blaze.
