More than 200 people were evacuated from a Newcastle apartment complex after reports of smoke early Tuesday morning.
Two trucks were called to the Chifley Apartments on Honeysuckle Drive around 2am to an automatic fire alarm.
The fourth level was smokelogged and the building evacuated as a precaution, although no one was treated for any injuries.
Firefighters traced the source of the smoke to a faulty electrical switch within a unit, which fortunately had not escalated to a fire.
Fire crews left the scene around 3:40am.
