BREAKING! Concerns Over Hazardous Material at Adamstown Car Fire

BY OLIVIA DILLON

Newcastle fire crews are currently investigating a car fire which occurred near Merewether Golf Club last night. 

The owner of the vehicle was able to locate it via GPS tracking, on King Street at Adamstown. 

There's concern over a Moisture Density Meter which is reportedly inside the vehicle, which could have a radioactive source. 

Hazardous materials experts have set up a safety zone around the area, and are seeking to find out if the meter is there, and if it has been breached. 

Crews have assured the area is stable.
