Dozens of people have been evacuated after a fire broke out in Raymond Terrace unit overnight.
Fire crews from Raymond Terrace, Tarro and East Maitland along with the RFS were called to a 14 unit complex in Glenelg Street at 8.20pm on Tuesday to find a fire in the kitchen of one of the units.
A 50-year-old man suffered smoke inhalation and was treated by Paramedics before being taken to hospital.
Newcastle Fire Command says 40 residents were evacuated as a precaution.
Crews took about an hour to extinguish and mop up the fire, which was confined to the unit.
All residents have since been allowed to return to their homes.
