Four people have been evacuated after a fire tore through their Jesmond unit overnight.
Firefighters were called to a three level brick and tile unit complex in Mordue Parade just after 5.00pm on Thursday to find flames coming from a window of one of the units.
They took about half an hour to bring the blaze under control which caused severe damage to a bedroom.
Power to the complex has been isolated and residents forced to find alternative accommodation.
Newcastle Fire Command says no-one was injured during the incident.
Police are investigating the cause of the fire.
