A woman's been treated for smoke inhalation and a broken leg after escaping a fire at a garage at a Maryland home on Sunday night.
About 9:30pm, crews from Wallsend and Minmi were called to an address in Sandycroft Street after reports of a building fire.
Crews managed to contain the fire before it could spread to the neighbouring residential properties.
Two firefighters made their way to the rear of the property and attacked the fire from within and externally to prevent fire extension to the neighbouring home.
The fire was extinguished after a few minutes.
It's believed to have been caused by an unattended candle.
The resident was taken to hospital by paramedics.
