Hunter firefighters have been kept busy attending a number of blazes this morning.
Newcastle firefighters extinguished a fire in a rubbish bin at a building in King Street.
5 crews attended the scene around 11am, where 2 levels of the building had become smoke-logged.
Over 65 people evacuated but fortunately, no-one was injured.
Earlier, crews from several stations extinguished a fire at a single story weatherboard home in Bowman Street at Swansea.
Nearby residents raised the alarm just before 9:30 and it took crews around an hour to extinguish.
Nobody was injured and police will investigate the cause of the blaze.
Meanwhile, crews are still at the scene of a fire at Lorn, where a two storey unoccupied brick home in Allan Street is on fire.
