Firefighters have been kept busy overnight with major fires at Bellbird and Broadmeadow.
Five crews were called to a single story fibro and iron house on Tennant Street at Bellbird at 7.45pm on Sunday to find property well alight.
It took them about 2 hours to extinguish and mop up the fire, which left the home severely damaged.
Newcastle Fire Command says all occupants were accounted for and no-one was injured.
They were called back at 4.00am on Monday to extinguish a re-ignition.
Earlier, crews from Lambton and Newcastle including the aerial Bronto unit, were called to Belford Street at Broadmeadow at 5.45pm on Sunday to find a rear unit above the Little French Cafe on fire.
Residents in all 6 upstairs units were safely evacuated without injury.
Crews took more than 2 hours to douse the flames, which caused extensive damage to the rear unit.
Residents of two units were later allowed to return.
The cause of the fire has not yet been determined.
