Firefighters have taken several hours to extinguish a fire in a storage container at Morisset Park overnight,
Newcastle Fire Command says several Fire & Rescue and RFS crews were called to Trinity Point Drive just after 12.30am on Monday morning to find a gas bottle next to a shipping container had caught alight.
The fire quickly spread inside the container, which was filled with piles of cardboard, and the office area of an adjacent restaurant.
The office area sustained only minor damage but the storage shed took around five hours to extinguish due to multiple re-ignitions.
Police say no-one was injured and the fire is not being treated as suspicious.
