More than 55 Firefighters Called to Battle Blaze at Car Dealership in Gateshead

 BY ISABEL EVERETT

More than 55 firefighters worked to contain a blaze at the MG Motor dealership in Gateshead on Sunday night. 

Just after 7:30pm, 14 Fire and Rescue NSW crews were called to the single-storey building on Oakdale Road, after receiving numerous Triple Zero Zero calls with reports of a building fire.

Multiple crews from fire stations across the Hunter and Newcastle regions arrived shortly after to find black smoke and flames issuing from a large single level commercial building, believed to be motor vehicle dealership. 

Over 55 fire fighters worked to control the fire and prevent further spread, bringing the blaze under control by 9pm. 

NSW Ambulance and NSW Police also attended.
