There's concern asbestos contamination has spread into Newcastle's western suburbs, after the devastating Wickham wool sheds fire on Tuesday.
It's understood the ceilings of the burning buildings were made of Super Six.
Residents as far away as Waratah have reported asbestos debris, in addition to reports in backyards and on roofs in Wickham, Islington, Maryville, and Georgetown.
The Environment Protection Authority is urging residents not to touch suspected asbestos and to report it immediately to the agency at 131 555.
Demolition of the remaining wool shed structure is expected to begin on Friday.
