Fire At Muswellbrook RSL Club

 BY IAN CROUCH

Firefighters are mopping up after a fire broke out at the Muswellbrook RSL Club this morning.

Newcastle Fire Command says they received 30 Triple-Zero calls just after 8.30 reporting a fire on the roof of the 2 storey building.

20 staff at the club were safely evacuated without injury.

Crews from Muswellbrook, Aberdeen and Denman arrived to find a sign on the roof well alight.

RFS crews were also called to the incident.

It's taken about an hour to extinguish the fire and check to ensure it hadn't spread to other parts of the club.

The cause of the blaze is yet to be determined.
