Fire has damaged the Australia Post Shop at Wallsend Village overnight.
Firefighters from Wallsend, Minmi and Lambton were called to the shopping centre in Kokera Street just before 6.30pm on Tuesday, arriving to find the Post Shop heavily smoke logged.
Newcastle Fire Command says the automatic sprinkler system activated, preventing the fire from taking hold.
Crews had the fire fully extinguished and mopped up by 7.50pm.
The extent of damage or the cause of the fire is not known at this stage, however it was contained to the shop.
No-one was injured and the shopping centre will open today as usual, although the Post shop will remain closed.
